Hurd spent 25 years at NCR Corporation, culminating in a two-year tenure as chief executive officer and president.

He was named president of NCR in 2001 and was given additional responsibilities as chief operating officer in 2002. He began working for NCR as a junior salesman in San Antonio in 1980, and subsequently held a variety of positions in general management, operations, and sales and marketing.
