By the time he left Dell in 2017, Michael's little Texas-based catalog computer company had grown from 5,000 to 138,000 employees and evolved into one of the largest technology providers on the planet! Part of Michael Dell's genius has always been his knack for changing the game. John quickly learned that riding the front of that wave of change was the right place to be at Dell. He joined the first sales team exploring the profitability of the, then still new Internet. As the Internet Revolution picked up steam, he became a member of an elite design team supporting Dell's new Server and Storage product lines. When Michael decided it was time for Dell Direct to open a Partner Division, John jumped right in and was a part of that Division's phenomenal growth over the next dozen years. It was an extraordinary journey that lasted for more than two decades!
