A large part of EMC's growth and success over the past decade has been due to the development of world-class management capabilities in support of the company's leading technology, sales and service organizations.

"For a company to grow as rapidly and perform as consistently as EMC has over the years, and to continue that performance in the future, the management engine must be firing on all cylinders," said Ruettgers. "Paul, Dave and Bill bring an extensive amount of experience to our collective mission and have all built important corporate functions that help enable us to scale our business to meet the ever-increasing information needs of our customers."

Most recently, Donatelli's organization prepared and completed the successful acquisitions of Data General Corp., SOFTWORKS, Inc., and Terascape Corp. He is also responsible for EMC's Media Group and its McDATA and EMC Data Manager (EDM) organizations.
