    Lexmark gags HP’s Bruce Dahlgren
    Head of ‘worldwide’ sales restricted to EMEA following litigation
     Oct 2006
    HP’s
    senior vice president of worldwide enterprise sales has been forbidden
    from discussing the company’s North American policy following
    litigation from a competitor. Bruce Dahlgren left Lexmark to join HP’s
    Imaging and Printing Group (IPG) in January of this year. However, his
    role is currently restricted to Europe, the Middle East and Africa
    until one year after leaving Lexmark.Dahlgren told a customer and
    analyst conference in San Francisco that litigation from Lexmark is
    “restricting my activity at this time to outside the North
    Americas”.Lexmark sued HP in April over its hiring of Dahlgren, citing
    a non-compete clause in his contract. HP countersued, questioning the
    legality of the contractual clause.Slides used by Dahlgren showing
    changes to HP’s IPG enterprise business carried the tagline ‘Being
    implemented outside of North America only at this time.'”We hired Bruce
    Dahlgren from Lexmark and he was running North America so we are
    respecting that particular part of the arrangement,” said Vyomesh
    Joshi, executive vice president of HP IPG.”He has a non-compete so he
    cannot really play out the strategy that he talked about in North
    America.”
