Dell to diversify away from computers

Dell, which intends to go private in a $24.4bn (€17.9bn) deal led by founder and CEO Michael Dell, plans to stick to its current turnaround strategy to diversify away from personal computers.

Brian Gladden, chief financial officer, told Reuters the company can now pursue its strategy without being limited by the pressures of public ownership.

“Under a new private company structure, we will have time and flexibility to really pursue and realise the end-to-end solutions strategy,” said Mr Gladden.
