In January of this year Dell Inc’s Chief Technology Officer Kevin Kettler left the company in after 13 years with the U.S. computer maker. Kettler had played a leading role in shaping Dell’s technology strategy and pushing across-the-board innovation at the Round Rock, Texas-based Company.
It was reported by the news site CNET that Kettler left the company in mid-January to spend more time with his family and focus on his varied interests.
Kettler is a founding member of an Austin-based charity organization and also owns a restaurant in the city.
Casey Jones, a vice president of marketing at Dell, also left the company earlier this year. However Jones continues to be a consultant to the company.
The No. 2 computer maker, near the end of a program of 8,900 job cuts, is offering voluntary severance packages and has instituted a global hiring freeze.
