CFO Brian Gladden Leaves Dell

Brian Gladden, the longtime CFO of Dell, the computing giant that went private in a leveraged buyout last year, has left the company. Controller Thomas Sweet was named CFO to replace him. CFO since 2008, Gladden is the most senior executive to leave the company since CEO Michael Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake paid out $25 billion to shareholders following a proxy battle with activist investor Carl Icahn.
