META
Dell Technologies has announced that its Middle
East, Turkey, Africa (META) region is being expanded
to include Russia, with the change coming into effect
immediately. The re-mapping of the CIS markets follows
Dell Technologies’ view that these countries have similar
needs and customer requirements, leading to Russia joining
the digitally advanced markets in the META region. The region
will be led by Mohammed Amin, Senior Vice-President, Middle
East Russia, Africa and Turkey (MERAT) and Boris Shcherbakov,
Vice-President, Russia will continue to lead the local Russian
business operations for Dell Technologies, reporting to
Mohammed. As ICT continues to be a key driver of socio-
economic growth, Russia is accelerating its national
digitisation agenda across both government and
industry and remains a key growth market for
Dell Technologies.
