He served as the company's initial Vice President of Enterprise Alliances, developing and managing EMC's relationships with the world's leading software companies. Prior to that, Donatelli, as Vice President, developed EMC's open systems marketing program, helping propel EMC into the number one position in the open storage systems market in less than two years. He also served in a number of product management, marketing, customer service and operations roles in EMC's former mainframe and midrange divisions. He is a graduate of Boston College and received an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
