Tin box shifter Michael Dell has emailed his company, to talk about the organisation’s leadership team after it acquires EMC.
What is telling is that the future does not include Joe Tucci who is EMC’s president and chairman and the bloke who took the company onto the cloud route. Tucci had indicated he wanted to clean out his desk sooner rather than later and is expected to retire.
“This new organisational structure will be effective immediately following the completion of the transaction. I want to thank Joe Tucci for his insights and assistance,” Dell said.
Meanwhile Dell said there was strong progress on our plans to combine Dell and EMC … The transaction is on schedule under the original timetable and the original terms.”
