MANILA - Michael Dell, who founded the computer company that bears his name, always reminds employees of the need to anticipate change, a company official said Friday.
Dell is now Dell EMC after it acquired a data storage business in 2016, enabling the technology hardware pioneer to leverage itself as a one stop shop for digital services.
The 53-year-old Dell is "very humble, very focused and works extremely hard," said Amit Midha, Dell EMC president for commercial business in the Asia Pacific and Japan.
"The first thing he always says is change is the only constant. We have to expect change in our industry. We cannot take anything for granted," Midha said in an exclusive interview with ANC's The Boss.
Forbes Magazine estimates Dell's net worth at $23.5 billion and ranks him as the tenth richest person in technology. The college dropout started his business at 19 from his college dorm in Austin, Texas, according to the magazine.
Dell is also supporting cleaning the world's oceans, even allowing the use of recycled ocean plastic in the company's products, Midha said.
Since 2007, the company has cleaned up 1.8 billion pounds of electronic waste, he said.
