Full Story:

EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) today announced that 17-year EMC veteran and Vice Chairman Bill Teuber (60), will take on additional corporate-wide responsibilities for EMC as a member of the Office of the Chairman. In his new role, Teuber will focus on strategy and business development in emerging markets, assist with government relations and work closely with the Board of Directors. In addition, Teuber will continue his sponsorship of EMC’s largest customer accounts and work with Chairman and CEO Joe Tucci and EMC’s executive team to develop future leaders.

EMC today also announced a series of senior sales executive appointments that represent a cornerstone for the company’s next phase of global business growth. The new appointments and promotions showcase the depth and breadth of EMC’s executive management and mark the implementation of the company’s longstanding sales and executive succession planning.

The company announced the appointment of EMC veteran executive Bill Scannell (50) to lead EMC’s Global Sales & Customer Operations, a role formerly held by Bill Teuber. Since joining EMC in 1986, Scannell has held a variety of international and domestic sales management positions. Most recently, he has been responsible for driving revenue growth across EMC’s full range of products and services in North America, Latin America and EMEA. Combined, these regions contributed approximately 85 percent of EMC’s global revenues in 2011.

EMC also announced today new sales leadership for the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) regions. John Hanlon (49), previously EMC leader for U.S. Commercial business, will assume responsibility for sales and customer operations in the Americas. European native Adrian McDonald (48), previously EMC leader for EMEA North, will assume responsibility for sales and customer operations across all of EMEA. New Zealand native David Webster (52), previously leader for Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, will assume responsibility for sales and customer operations in Asia Pacific and Japan. Webster succeeds Steve Leonard, who takes a new role focused on further building out EMC’s presence in emerging markets, after growing EMC APJ sales from $1.1 billion in 2006 to $2.6 billion in 2011. Leonard will remain based in Asia and continue to report directly to Teuber in the Office of the Chairman. Joe Eazor (49), who previously oversaw EMC’s global customer accounts and OEMs, will assume additional responsibility as COO, Global Sales & Customer Operations, focusing on sales strategy and managing key global sales functions to support growth. Scannell, Eazor, Hanlon, McDonald and Webster have a combined 72 years of EMC sales experience and a strong reputation for providing the best customer experience in the industry.
