Dell EMC’s scale will enable it to deliver more innovation and investment in R&D, sales and marketing, services and support and more efficient and cost-effective solutions for customers.

Prior to joining EMC UK and Ireland in 2007, Murray held various positions at Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) across Europe and CSC in New Zealand and Australia.
