Liu Junling, co-president of Dell China, has chosen to leave the
company at the end of its third fiscal quarter which ends on
October 31, the company said yesterday.
Liu will, however, stay on with Dell China till November and
will continue to contribute and support the company as it drives
towards its ambitious targets in China , according to a statement
from Dell China.
Amit Midha will be in charge of Dell China's business after
Liu's departure.
"Liu has helped accelerate the company's outreach efforts to
government, customers and media and further improved Dell's
reputation in China," said Sharon Zhang, Dell China's spokesperson.
"He led the team successfully in driving the enterprise business,
including server, storage and solution services."
During Liu's tenure, Dell, the world's No. 2 personal computer
maker, launched several products aimed at consumers to compete with
rivals like HP and Lenovo. Its consumer-related business jumped 3.5
times in the past three years.
Liu, who joined Dell in April 2006, is leaving the firm to purse
his entrepreneurship spirit and develop his own business. But Dell
declined to reveal more details.
Liu didn't answer his mobile phone yesterday despite repeated
attempts to reach him.
