About Eckhard Pfeiffer
From 1992 to 1999, Eckhard Pfeiffer was President and Chief Executive Officer of Compaq Computer Corporation, the worlds second largest computer company and the largest global supplier of computer systems. During this period, Pfeiffer led the company through a highly successful turnaround and revitalization that Fortune magazine called a classic case of corporate comeback." Under his leadership, Compaq experienced dramatic growth. Worldwide sales soared from $3.0 billion to an annual rate of $40.0 billion and Compaq PC market share climbed from 3.5% to 16.0%. Compaq sustained its No. 1 rank for seven consecutive years. In the process, Pfeiffer transformed Compaq from a PC company to a global IT solutions provider.

With Compaqs dynamic growth and the acquisitions of Tandem Computer, Inc. in 1996 and Digital Equipment Corporation in 1998, Compaq became the second largest computer company in the world and a global leader in enterprise computing. In May of 2002, Compaq merged with Hewlett Packard. Today, Eckhard Pfeiffer is Chairman of Intershop Communications, AG, a leading e-commerce software company.
