22 years since Joe Tucci took the reign of EMC Corp

Exactly 22 years ago in January 2001 Joe Tucci is named President and CEO of EMC Corp.
In this memorable day EMC got the person who made it a powerhouse and the most powerful storage company in the World. He was the genius who orchestrated the Dell-EMC merger which brought many happy moments and wades of cash to many EMC executives..

Cheers Joe! Live long and prosper!

Hiring Tucci was the beginning of the end of EMC.

LOL...Dell made Tucci with the partnership years ago. EMC and Tucci great, but he wasn't a miracle worker. EMC was made by acquisition not Tucci and EMC sales people....don't kid yourselves.

I agree - Tucci got VMware purchased which was only one aquisition that paid off - all other Documentum , DG , even Data Domain - was all waste of money

Ruttgers was real CEO - than "two in the box" was big letdown and finnaly sell to MD - it was win for both as VMware paid MD $25bln leaving Dell Technolgies with debts - financial engineering at it's best

Joe Tucci's greatest accomplishment was foreseeing the future of hyperscale IaaS including storage and pawing off EMC -a then soon to be dinosaur 🦖 monolithic storage company- to the "genius" Michael S Dell for billions more than it was worth, which has spelled the demise and massive debt burden of Dell Technologies. Bravo Mr. Tucci, Bravo!

With Tucci and tech stock crash occurring at same time early 2000s I wasn’t fan Tucci. I started in 90’s under Michael Ruettgers(CEO)& Moshi Yanni(Engineering) who both made EMC Corp the powerhouse they became. From 1990 to 2000 EMC was top growth stock of the decade on NYSE and many of us from that era became millionaires. Tucci failed at Sperry & Wang and was demise of EMC selling out for golden parachute from Dell.
