Meg Whitman, chief executive of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, said she would not become the next chief of Uber, amid a flurry of reports about who might assume leadership of the troubled ride-hailing company.

Ms. Whitman posted a statement on Twitter late Thursday about the vacant Uber job, following reports this week that she was on a short list of candidates to be the next C.E.O.

“Normally I do not comment on rumors, but the speculation about my future and Uber has become a distraction,” Ms. Whitman said in three consecutive tweets. “So let me make this as clear as I can. I am fully committed to H.P.E. and plan to remain the company’s C.E.O. We have a lot of work still to do at H.P.E. and I am not going anywhere.”
