Dell has hired Marius Haas, a 20-year industry veteran, as president of Enterprise Solutions, responsible for worldwide engineering, design, development and marketing of Dell enterprise products, including servers, networking and storage systems. Mr. Haas succeeds Brad Anderson, who led Dell’s Enterprise Solutions since joining the company in 2005, and made a personal decision to seek new opportunities.

Prior to that Mr. Haas held a number of leadership roles at Hewlett-Packard, Compaq and Intel.
