Marketing and Business Development

EMC Corporation, the world leader in information storage, today announced that David Goulden, an accomplished executive with more than 20 years of IT industry experience, is joining the company as Executive Vice President of Global Marketing and Business Development. Goulden is responsible for helping to define and fulfill EMC's marketing initiatives and business strategy to accelerate the worldwide adoption of automated networked storage solutions and advance EMC's market leadership. Goulden will report to Joe Tucci, EMC's President and CEO. In a separate news release, EMC today also announced the appointment of Mark Lewis as Executive Vice President of New Ventures and Chief Technology Officer.

Tucci said, "EMC is leading the widespread deployment of automated, networked information storage solutions. This trend is driven by the growth of information, the need for large organizations to more efficiently and easily manage it, and the rapid technology advances we have made on our customers' behalf. As we evolve EMC at the forefront of this trend, we continue to add experienced senior talent and depth to our executive team. After an extensive search, we are delighted that David Goulden is joining that team. David, whom I have known for years, is a shrewd strategic thinker who brings a rare combination of experience and expertise in marketing, M&A, international operations, and general management in software, hardware and services. He is the latest in a series of experienced executives to join our management team since the year began, and we look forward to the significant contributions he will make to EMC and to our customers in the years ahead."

Goulden, 43, joins EMC from Amsterdam-based Getronics, a 28,000-person global IT services provider, where he was most recently a member of the Board of Management and President and Chief Operating Officer for the Americas and Asia Pacific, a role he assumed after Getronics' acquisition of Wang Global in 1999. Prior to the acquisition, he spent a decade with Wang Global serving in numerous executive strategy and marketing roles including President of Wang Global's U.S. Operations, Senior Vice President for Marketing and Corporate Development, and Senior Vice President of Wang's Software Business Unit. Prior to joining Wang in 1990, Goulden spent ten years at Unisys in a series of international sales and marketing positions.

Goulden holds a B.S. in Physics from Durham University (England) and an MBA in Marketing, Finance and Business Strategy from Cranfield School of Management (England).
