HP names David Donatelli executive vice president

Donatelli will report to Ann Livermore, executive vice president of the Technology Solutions Group at HP, and lead the development of HP’s industry-leading server, storage and networking solutions.

His responsibilities will include the Enterprise Storage and Server (ESS) business unit, which had fiscal year 2008 revenues of $19.4 billion. This business unit contains Business Critical Systems, Industry Standard Servers, StorageWorks, ESS Infrastructure Software and Blades.

In an associated move, the HP ProCurve Networking business will also be part of Donatelli’s responsibility.
