Computer giant Dell said on Wednesday that founder Michael Dell will assume the role of CEO, replacing Kevin Rollins, who has resigned. Dell also will retain his duties as chairman of the board. "There is no better person in the world to run Dell at this time than the man who created" the company, said Samuel Nunn, the presiding director of Dell's board. Dell founded the company in 1984 and previously served as its CEO until 2004. The move comes as Dell said that its fourth quarter financial results will fall below Wall Street estimates for both revenue and earnings per share.
