Dell Technologies Worldwide Channel Leader Quits

ROUND ROCK, TX — Dell Technologies worldwide channel leader Joyce Mullen — responsible for roughly half of the infrastructure giant’s $91 billion in revenue — is unexpectedly leaving Dell after 21 years with the company, according to a report.

Industry news site CRN spoke to Mullen, who said she's unsure where she'll end up next. “There’s a lot of space between the size of Dell and the size of a startup," she told CRN. "There’s a lot of room in there. I’m sure I’ll narrow that down as I move forward.”

A specific reason for the unexpected departure effective Aug. 14 was not given, other than Mullen's expressed desire to work at a smaller firm. She has worked at Dell for 21 years.

“I’ve been able to contribute to making Dell Technologies the great company that it is," she told the site. "When I stepped back and talked about it with my husband and my kids, it became really clear that I want to go be a member of a very senior leadership team at a smaller company and do it again — make another company really terrific. I’ve had a great opportunities at Dell Technologies, and I’m really grateful for that, but I want to do it again at another company.”

Dell told CRN the company is currently searching for a replacement for Mullen who has been leading Dell’s channel charge since 2017. The search is being led by Bill Scannell, president of global sales and customer operations, the company told the site.
