BEIJING, July 27 -- EMC Corporation, the world leader in information
management and storage, announced here Thursday that former IBM
executive Denis Yip has joined the company as President of its Greater
China operations.
Yip will lead the company's customer operations in China, Hong Kong, and
Taiwan and report to Steven Leonard, president of EMC Asia Pacific and
Japan.
"The Greater China region is a very dynamic and fast-growing market
globally and offers significant opportunities for EMC," said Leonard.
EMC announced in June an investment program of 500 million U.S. dollars
for its operations in China, aiming to create a new global
software-development center based in Shanghai.
Yip most recently managed IBM's Asia Pacific storage division, based in
Shanghai. Prior to that, Yip held a variety of IBM senior management
positions over a 15-year period, including appointments in the United
States, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Tokyo.
IBM and EMC are two of the largest storage providers in the Chinese
market and have been competing head-to-head.
