Dave Dewalt News & Articles

Like a lot of folks, Dave DeWalt’s departure from EMC took me by surprise. I met Dave his first week on the job. At the time I was a technical partner manager with a passion for web content management. Dave asked me if I wanted to have a front seat to turning the company around, and that started my best four years of my professional career. When Dave joined Documentum we had reached our lowest point and within six months the company had turned around, better yet we were getting traction.

It has now been one year since Dave moved on from his role leading Documentum within EMC and became CEO and President of McAfee. After recently reading John Newton’s post The Departed - Dave DeWalt and Documentum which answered the questions of why he thought Dave left, I thought it would be interesting to look and see what has happened in the last year of his departure.
