2. Kevin Rollins, Dell( 2 years, 6 months):
CEO from: July.2004 - Jan.2007
Rollins joined Dell in 1996 went to become the President and COO during which he was characterized as a co-leader of the company with Dell. In 2004, Rollins became the CEO of Dell. In 2007, Dell terribly lost their PC market share to Hewlett-Packard and an investigation by the SEC for possible accounting improprieties began. Another market trend that Dell was late to recognize under Rollins' tenure was the growing demand for Advanced Micro Devices' processors. Dell clung steadfast to its exclusive support for Intel's processors despite dozens of independent benchmarks showing that AMD's Opteron server processor clearly outperformed Intel's Xeon processor. Michael Dell resumed as the CEO after Rollins left.
