Joyce Mullen comes over from the OEM side, but brings her old responsibilities with her. She also indicates that no serves in the Dell EMC partner policy established under John Byrne should be anticipated.
Dell EMC has announced its thresholds and tiers for 2018, and while there are some changes from the previous system, the biggest, by far, is the emphasis on services for tier eligibility, not just for rebates.

Millard, a veteran EMC channel exec who has most recently been in charge of channels at Virtustream, comes on board the Dell EMC channel team as a focused storage specialist.
In addition to the many storage announcements, Dell EMC also addressed the issues with the Partner Academy, and will be waiving training requirements for the second half of the year.
