Dell Operating Chief Takes Over PC Unit in Face of Slow Demand

Dell Technologies Inc. has reorganized some of its leadership, putting Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke directly in charge of its personal computer unit amid a prolonged slump in that business.

Clarke, who joined Dell in 1987 and is also vice chair, will oversee the company’s Client Solutions Group, according to a memo to the staff seen by Bloomberg and confirmed by Dell. The unit, which includes desktop and notebook computers for corporate clients and consumers, had been run by Sam Burd.
