Dell Adds Three New Board Members

The new members are Janet Clark, executive vice president, treasurer, CFO and a member of the executive committee at Marathon Oil; Laura Conigliaro, recently retired as a partner at Goldman Sachs; and Ken Duberstein, chairman and CEO of The Duberstein Group and former White House Chief of Staff to President Reagan.

"Collectively [they] bring extensive experience in finance, accounting, IT industry insight, public policy, enterprise solutions strategy and management, which will benefit Dell as we continue to expand our role as a technology solutions company,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO, in a statement.

Clark will serve on Dell's audit committee. She previously served as senior vice president and CFO for Nuevo Energy and was CFO and executive vice president of Corporate Development and Administration for Santa Fe Snyder.

Conigliaro will sit on Dell's finance committee. She joined Goldman Sachs in 1996, and was the co-head of the firm's Americas equity research unit where she covered hardware systems technology with a specialized expertise covering enterprise server and storage companies, according to Dell.

Duberstein will serve on the board's governance and nominating committee. In 1989, he was awarded the President's Citizens Medal by President Reagan. He also serves as a director on the boards of the Boeing Company, ConocoPhillips and the Travelers Companies.

With the appointments, Dell's board increases by one. Judy Lewent and Sam Nunn, who had served as directors since May 2001 and December 1999, respectively, retired from the board in July.
