DALLAS (AP) — Dell, the computer maker, said Monday that Donald J. Carty, hired as chief financial officer a year and a half ago to help lead a turnaround, would resign in June and be succeeded by a longtime General Electric executive.
Brian T. Gladden, chief executive of Sabic Innovative Plastics, formerly called GE Plastics, will join Dell on Tuesday and succeed Mr. Carty on June 13.
Dell, which has fallen behind Hewlett-Packard in shipments of personal computers, is expanding beyond its phone and Internet sales to include selling machines through retailers, and is pushing to expand in emerging markets like China. The company has also been cutting jobs and closing some call centers.
Mr. Gladden, 43, held a series of jobs at G.E. and served as president and chief executive of Sabic Innovative Plastics, which makes polymers used by electronics, office equipment, computer and auto manufacturers, since that company was sold to the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation in August.
