Capellas left HP Monday, accompanied by a statement from HP CEO Carly Fiorina that "we've reached a natural transition point." But investors sent shares of the computer maker 11 percent lower amid concerns over Fiorina's direction for the company without him present.
Capellas told reporters that he continues to have a good relationship with Fiorina and that he was not unhappy being the No. 2 executive at the combined company, but he had wanted to again be CEO at some point in his career.
