About
Michael Dell is the visionary Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies. He famously launched his empire from a University of Texas dorm room in 1984 with just $1,000 and a revolutionary idea: selling custom PCs directly to customers.
Today, he leads a global leader in digital transformation and AI infrastructure. Beyond the boardroom, Michael is a dedicated philanthropist, having committed billions to global health and education through the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. He is the author of the bestseller Play Nice But Win and remains a key architect of the modern tech landscape.
