About Dell

Dell Inc. is an American multinational computer technology corporation that develops, sells and supports computers and related products and services. Bearing the name of its founder, Michael Dell, the company is one of the largest technological corporations in the world, employing more than 103,300 people worldwide. Dell is listed at number 41 in the Fortune 500 list. It is the third largest PC vendor in the world after HP and Lenovo.

As Dell has matured in the Enterprise space and become a true end-to-end solutions provider—which has both the ability and desire to innovate across technologies like no other—I felt like now was the time to make a move. The opportunity to help guide Dell’s enterprise architecture as it creates solutions for the next 25 years in an environment that is not encumbered by the past excites me.
