Shortly after hearing of rearrangements amongst the XPS / Alienware dev teams, along comes word the outfit's current CFO will be headed out in June. Donald J. Carty (pictured), who was just hired as chief financial officer 1.5 years ago, will be resigning in June and will be replaced by longtime General Electric executive Brian T. Gladden. Mr. Gladden stated that he was "excited to be joining Dell at a time of transformation," and considering the $700,000 annual base salary along with the $2 million signing bonus (amongst other monetary perks), we highly doubt he's fibbing. It should be noted that the Round Rock powerhouse will keep Carty on its board, and that he actually "indicated several months ago that he wanted to retire as CFO."[Via CNET]
so...did Carty retire or resign???
does it matter he left either way?
The source article says "resign" as well, so let's take their word for it.
Good job, way to move up in the world Mr Furley.
Isn't Donald J. Carty the same "Donald" who was CEO of American Airlines and is/was responsible for the current poor relationship bewteen American and it's employees as well as lacking the imagination of former CEO of Southwest Air Herb Keller to hedge fuel cost futures?
Dell is probably better off without Carty.
Yes, Donald J. Carty of Dell is the same Donald J. Carty of AMR fame.
Bingo...he's the same A-hole... Even the picture is the same as the one I remember from his AA times. I guess he must be looking like a bull frog by now (he did at that time so now he must look like a pile of dough).
He looks happy enough...
With that fat salary and finding executive employment after the AA ordeal do you blame him? lol
I'd also be excited with a $700K salary plus $2 million in bonuses...
Is it just me,or does he kinda look like Don Knotts?
Thats him alright.
This is what The Mummy looks like when his wrappings are removed.
Does that guy know that it's a series of TUBES, and NOT a dump truck? I doubt it.
He looks more like a zombie Mr. Rogers!
