(see for further detail). In March 2011, she was appointed a part-time special adviser at venture capital firm.

She has also joined the boards of and, and re-joined the board of Procter & Gamble. Whitman has also been a member of the board.

Hewlett-Packard In January 2011, Whitman joined 's board of directors. She was named CEO on September 22, 2011. As well as renewing focus on HP’s Research & Development division, Whitman’s major decision during her first year as CEO has been to retain and recommit the firm to the PC business that her predecessor announced he was considering discarding. In May 2013, named Whitman 'Most Underachieving CEO' along with Apple's CEO Tim Cook (ranked 12) and IBM's Virginia Rometty (ranked 10) - whose stocks have all turned in the worst numbers relative to the broader market since the beginning of each CEO's tenure.

Charitable foundation. Main article: Whitman founded a charitable foundation with husband Harsh on December 21, 2006, by donating to it 300,000 shares of eBay stock worth $9.4 million. By the end of its first year of operation, the Griffith R. Harsh IV and Margaret C Whitman Charitable Foundation had $46 million in assets and has disbursed $125,000 to charitable causes.

In 2011, the foundation donated $2.5 million to Summit Public Schools, which operates several in the San Jose area. Political career Presidential endorsements and fundraising Whitman was a supporter of former Governor and was on his national finance team.

She was also listed as finance co-chair of Romney's. After Romney stepped out of the race and endorsed, Whitman joined McCain's presidential campaign as a national co-chair. McCain mentioned Whitman as a possible during the in 2008, but lost the election to. During the 2012 Republican primaries, Whitman endorsed Mitt Romney, who praised her.

Whitman's name was mentioned as a possible cabinet member in a Romney administration before he lost to Obama. During the, Whitman was finance co-chair of.

After Christie withdrew from the race and subsequently endorsed, Whitman criticized it as 'an astonishing display of political opportunism' and called on other Christie donors to reject Trump, whom she compared to and. In August, Whitman endorsed Democrat 's, stating that to vote for Trump 'out of party loyalty alone would be to endorse a candidacy that I believe has exploited anger, grievance, xenophobia and racial division'. Acknowledging policy differences with Clinton, Whitman nonetheless praised her 'temperament, global experience and commitment to America’s bedrock national values'. She called on all Republicans 'to put country first before party' and added that she would support the campaign financially.

2010 campaign for California Governor. Whitman's campaign sign for Governor of California On February 10, 2009, Whitman announced she would run for governor of California in the 2010 election.

Her campaign was largely self-funded. She spent more of her own money on this effort than any other self-funded political candidate in U.S. History and ultimately lost to Jerry Brown.

According to final reports, Whitman spent $144 million from her own personal funds. Said that her 'penchant for throwing money around is well known in California political circles'.

The comment came in connection with the disclosure that her campaign had paid far above market rates for advertising on a conservative political blog. The blog's founder, addressing the issue of a possible attempt to influence the blog's content, said he had made clear to the Whitman campaign that 'advertising and editorial are two very different things'.

In June 2010, Whitman released a political ad, 'A Lifetime in Politics A Legacy of Failure', which seemingly contained one image of the website, making it appear in the ad as if Jerry Brown had been the subject of one of the website's namesake 'fails'. Ben Huh, founder of the, of which failblog.org is a part, demanded an apology and the removal of the video, stating that the image was faked, and that the website is non-partisan and has never endorsed a particular political candidate or party. On November 2, 2010, at 11:35 pm, Whitman conceded the election to her opponent, Jerry Brown, stating 'We've come up a little short.' Voting record In 2010, reported that Whitman did not vote for 28 years, after reviewing her voting records in California. Whitman has described her voting record as 'inexcusable', apologized for it, and stated that she is happy to discuss the matter.

Whitman answered questions about her record in September, replying, 'And I think the reason is, is for many years, I wasn't as engaged in the political process and should have been.' Housekeeper controversy In September 2010, Nicky Diaz Santillan revealed that she was employed in the Whitman household as a housekeeper and nanny from 2000–2009 despite her status as an illegal worker. Whitman's campaign released documents which she says Santillan provided prior to her employment including a driver's license, social security ID, and application.

Santillan says Whitman knew she was undocumented, producing a 2003 letter from the Social Security Administration stating that her Social Security number did not match her name. Whitman initially stated that they 'never received those letters', however, after a hand-written note on the document was shown, believed to be from, they acknowledged they may have received it, but forgot. Santillan's attorney, states that Santillan was fired for the sake of the campaign.

Whitman's campaign maintains that this is a political attack, stating that Allred is a supporter. Brown, Allred and Santillan all deny this.

Crystal Williams, Director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association stated 'Not only is accepting the documents all the law required Whitman to do, but there's a counterbalancing anti-discrimination law that keeps her from probing further or demanding different documents.' Others disagree; immigration lawyer Greg Siskind states Whitman was the employer, and the documents by law needed to be signed by her but were not, nor did they have a social security number on them; the Fort Worth Star-Telegram noted that Whitman 'hired her, paid her and had direct contact with her for nine years', so should have known her legal status. Times noted that Latino voters were more likely interested that Whitman treated Santillan 'like a piece of garbage' when the maid asked for help finding an immigration attorney, and Whitman allegedly stated 'you don't know me and I don't know you'. Ties to Goldman Sachs , whose executives donated $100,000 to the Whitman campaign, manages a part of Whitman's fortune. As CEO of eBay, Whitman earned approximately $1.78 million resulting from a practice known as whereby executives who did business with Goldman Sachs could reap profits by getting early deals before the public on hot IPOs offered by the bank.

Whitman later resigned from the Goldman Sachs board after some expressed concern over her receiving shares from Goldman. In commenting on Whitman’s resignation from the Goldman board, eBay spokesman Henry Gomez told the Wall Street Journal at the time that, 'If we wanted to use Goldman's services, she doesn't want there to be even the slightest perception of any conflict. She's doing this because she thinks quite highly of the firm.' While Whitman was on Goldman’s board, she served on the compensation committee, which approved multimillion-dollar bonus packages for then-CEO and his top aides. Public domain documents reveal that Whitman has a multimillion-dollar stake in 21 investment funds managed by Goldman. Given Goldman's major investments in California state finances, all these ties to Goldman Sachs led to considerable controversy during the gubernatorial campaign.

In response, Whitman vowed to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest, and publicly stated that she would immediately sell her Goldman stock and put her Goldman-managed investments in a if elected governor. Political positions While running for governor, Whitman emphasized three major areas: job creation, reduced state government spending, and reform of the state's K-12 educational system. She argued that it is best to start only a few things and finish them, instead of starting a lot of things and finishing few of them. Environment Whitman said that if elected, on her first day she would have suspended AB 32, the, for a year to study its potential economic implications. AB32 requires the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2020.

At the state GOP Convention in March 2010, Whitman described California Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's climate change bill as a 'job-killer'. Whitman opposed, which would delay the global warming law AB32 until California's unemployment falls to 5.5 percent and stays there for a year, stating that the proposition did not reasonably balance the need to protect jobs with the need to preserve environment. On water issues, Whitman opposed further restrictions on water supply in the, and she suggested that President Obama should overturn a federal judge's ruling under provisions in the which reduced water supplies another 5% to 7%.

Illegal immigration Whitman said that 's approach to illegal immigration with is wrong and that there are better ways to solve the problem. She said that, if she had lived in California in 1994, she would have voted against concerning illegal immigrants. In an op-ed during her gubernatorial campaign, Whitman wrote, 'Clearly, when examining our positions on immigration, there is very little over which Jerry Brown and I disagree'. She stated that illegal immigrant students should be prohibited from attending state-funded institutions of higher education. Currently, California state law permits this.

In 2009, Whitman called for 'a path to legalization' of illegal immigrants. In a 2010 interview on television station, Whitman said, 'I want to hold employers accountable for hiring only documented workers.' Meg Whitman came under fire for hiring an illegal immigrant herself (see 'Housekeeper Controversy' above). Marriage, abortion, marijuana During the 2010 California gubernatorial election, Whitman supported California's, which reversed and defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman in the state. Whitman also criticized Gov.

And for not defending Proposition 8 in the federal judicial system. However, on February 26, 2013, Whitman confirmed that she had reversed that opinion. Whitman stated, 'At the time, I believed the people of California had weighed in on this question and that overturning the will of the people was the wrong approach,' and 'The facts and arguments presented during the legal process since then have had a profound impact on my thinking.' Whitman also believes that gay and lesbian couples should be permitted to adopt children.

Whitman supports. Whitman has said that the legalization of is not what any law enforcement person would suggest for any reason and that 'this is the worst idea she has ever seen.'

Infrastructure Whitman does not support the proposed and partially voter-funded project. In a letter to the Whitman's spokeswoman Sarah Pompei said, 'Meg believes the state cannot afford the costs associated with high-speed rail due to our current fiscal crisis.' Her opponent Jerry Brown is in favor of the project. Whitman has made monetary donations to various candidates and PACs. While these have gone to both and, the donations are weighted to Republicans. Though Whitman has contributed to a few Democrats, including Senator; donating $4,000 to her campaign and serving on the 'Friends of Boxer' committee in 2004, she donated more than $225,000.00 during the same period to Republicans, eBay's PAC and to Americans for a Republican Majority, the PAC of former Rep.
