Dell Computer has appointed Jeff Clarke, a 14-year company veteran, to take over the division responsible for corporate PCs, notebooks and workstations.
Clarke will likely play a pivotal role in Dell's (dell) future. In his new position, he will be responsible for managing the Optiplex desktop line, the Latitude brand of notebooks and the Precision workstation family, according to a company representative. Combined, these three product families account for the majority of Dell's revenue. Officially, Clarke's title is vice president of the relationship products group.
The 38-year-old Clarke succeeds Carl Everett, 50, who is retiring for personal reasons, the representative said. Everett came to Dell in 1998 after running the processor sales division at Intel. Clarke previously handled product development for the Optiplex and Precision lines. --Michael Kanellos, Special to ZDNet News
