Dell Puts Himself Back into the Driving Seat
February 2, 2007
MICHAEL Dell, founder of the computer maker Dell, has replaced Kevin Rollins as chief executive as the company continues to lose market share to rival Hewlett-Packard.
Dell, 41, has always been chairman of the company, but handed over the job of executive to Rollins in 2004.
Dell formed the company in 1984 out of his college dorm room with just Pounds 508.
Meanwhile, computer search engine Google trounced analysts’ expectations with a fourth-quarter profit that nearly tripled from the year before to Pounds 523m.
