Michael has been a strategist for many years helping technology companies develop the next great “thing.” His specialty is product management, product marketing, M&A, and innovation discovery. Prior to joining Dell EMC in 2014, Michael spent his time working with organizations focused on storage, cloud services, and HCI with an eye on Software-Defined Storage.
