HP may replace current CEO Leo Apotheker with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, <em>AllThingsD</em> reported on Wednesday. Reportedly, HP board members are not pleased with “a series of management mishaps,” inside HP. It is unclear if those mishaps are related to <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/18/rip-webos-hp-kills-off-its-mobile-operating-system/">HP’s recent decision to kill off its webOS devices</a> and spin off its PC business, which<a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/20/hp-to-lay-off-525-palm-employees-this-week/"> resulted in recent job cuts from the former Palm team</a>. The board may be more upset HP’s stock has tanked more than 40% since Apotheker took the reins in September, 2010. In any case, if Apotheker does get relieved of his duties as CEO, one analyst has suggested he will still have made $9.4 million for the year. Whitman, who is also on HP’s board, is reportedly interested in the job but the appointment is far from official, <em>AllThingsD </em>said. Whitman’s experience in the consumer market might help HP if ever <em>does</em> decide to <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/15/and-the-must-have-tech-product-of-2011-is-hps-touchpad/">revive the TouchPad and other webOS hardware efforts</a>. Whitman served as eBay’s chief executive for 10 years until 2008 before trying her hand in politics. <span id="more-104559"></span>
