Michael Dell
Michael Dell was born on February 23rd, 1965 and is currently 60 years old. Dell attended University of Texas at Austin.
Michael Dell is an American CEO and entrepreneur who is the founder of one of the largest computer technology companies in the world, Dell Inc.
It was while he was still a student in college in 1984 that he started his computer company with just $1000. Originally called PCs Limited, the company made $80,000 in revenue within a few months, which made Dell quit college to run the company.
In 1988, Dell became a publicly listed company that would later become Dell Inc., and ultimately, Dell Technologies. The company’s modus operandi was to bypass traditional retail channels, sell directly to customers, reduce delivery time, and cut costs.
Michael Dell emphasized customer service and hired experienced mentors and executives to take the company forward. By 1992, he made history when Dell became a Fortune 500 company and became the youngest-ever CEO of such a company.
In 2004, Michael Del resigned from his position as CEO of the company. Outside of Dell, he was on the U.S. President’s Council of Advisors and the World Economic Forum. But in 2007, he came back as CEO after major setbacks, including service complaints and product recalls.
As CEO, Dell took the company in another direction as he began to focus on IT services and software rather than traditional PC manufacturing. In 2013, he took Dell Inc. private, and after the acquisition of EMC Corporation, the company was renamed Dell Technologies.
In addition to being CEO of Dell Technologies, he also runs the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, which focuses on child welfare, education, and health worldwide.
In his 2021 work
Play Nice But Win, Michael Dell recounts how he built and protected the company that would become Dell Technologies. He goes right back to when he founded the company as a teenager in 1984, the fight for control over the years, and the lows and highs of the company.
With insight, humor, and personal stories, Dell examines resilience, mentorship, and leadership. He also provides insights into what happened at the company that the public could not see, including the vision that drove its success and how it dealt with the many upheavals in the tech industry.
