Michael Dell

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dell Technologies

A Conversation with Dell Technologies Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Dell

Dell Technologies Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell sat down with Boston Globe Managing Director Linda Henry at the November 28 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives Club. The discussion began with Dell's early years, when as a college freshman he founded the company that bears his name, and continued to the acquisition of EMC in 2016—the largest merger in technology industry history.

Takeaway

EMC Acquisition

We theorized that there would be a portfolio effect, where decision-makers would look across the whole family and see that we could provide a broad range of information technology across everything they’re doing.

Takeaway

Data Management

If you think about a business today, the role of data and information is really increasing…it's like gold inside their business. How do you use this data to now make better decisions and improve your products and services and outcomes in whatever you're doing with this data?

Takeaway

Fourth Industrial Revolution

Everything's getting connected, everything's becoming intelligent. That's creating this explosion of data…how do you use that data in real time to make a better product, a better service, a better outcome? Firms are really just at the beginning of this. But it's setting up the foundation for a kind of Fourth Industrial Revolution.
