Dell Inc. Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden, who helped oversee the leveraged buyout of the computer maker last year, is resigning and will be replaced by Corporate Controller Thomas Sweet.
Gladden’s exit is the highest-profile departure from Round Rock, Texas-based Dell since founder Michael Dell and Silver Lake Management LLC paid $24.9 billion to take it private last year. Gladden has told Chief Executive Officer Dell he has aspirations to be a CEO elsewhere, spokesman David Frink said.
