Tucci has led EMC through a period of dramatic revitalization and continued market share gains, having transformed EMC's business model from what was a near exclusive focus on high-end storage platforms into today's federation of businesses that includes EMC Information Infrastructure, VMware, Pivotal, RSA and VCE. With revenues of $24.4 billion in 2014 and more than 68,000 people worldwide, EMC enables businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service. Fundamental to this transformation is cloud computing. Through innovative products and services, EMC accelerates the journey to cloud computing, helping IT departments to store, manage, protect and analyze their most valuable asset-information-in a more agile, trusted and cost-efficient way. Under Tucci's leadership, EMC has amassed a long track record of successful acquisitions and partnerships to expand EMC's portfolio, enter new market segments and enlarge the company's addressable market opportunity. He has expanded the company's marketplace beyond large enterprises to commercial and small-medium businesses, broadened the company's industry alliances, and established new selling, partnership and distribution channels. He has strengthened EMC's management team with the integration of executives from other major technology companies. He has championed EMC's commitment to the Total Customer Experience, to consistently exceed customers' expectations for quality, service, innovation and interaction.

Before joining EMC, Tucci directed the financial and operational rebirth of Wang Global during six years as its Chairman and CEO. At Wang, he guided the company through a rapid and successful emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and transformed the company from a midrange computer manufacturer into a worldwide leader in networked technology services and solutions.
