EMC loses key 22-year veteran Donatelli to HP, now files lawsuit against him!

In 2001, EMC won a non-compete law suit in Massachusetts against Doron Kempel who was leaving EMC to become CEO of SANgate Systems. He had to wait almost a year before taking up his appointment. Kempel later became chairman and CEO of a deduplication vendor, Diligent, which was acquired by IBM, where he now works.
Donatelli is a 22-year EMC veteran with intimate and up to date knowledge of EMC’s operations, storage roadmap, partnership with Cisco, strategies concerning VMware, and product and technology roadmaps. Knowledge that would be intensely valuable to HP.
These legal moves must surely have been foreseen by HP’s legal counsel as part of the due diligence involved in the recruitment of Donatelli. An HP spokesperson said: “HP does not comment on other companies’ litigation.”
Maybe Donatelli will relocate to California
