The additions to the executive team reflect the need to scale operations around the world to support growing global demand for Dell Boomi’s cloud-based solutions for integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), API Management, and Master Data Management (MDM).

Previously, as a director within Dell’s corporate strategy group, Christopher Port led the acquisition of Dell Boomi in 2011 and was responsible for Dell Boomi’s post-acquisition integration and growth. Port was most recently a GM within Dell Software’s systems management group and one of the first Dell Software team members. His Dell career has spanned software, corporate strategy, corporate development, operations and finance. Prior to Dell, Port was a senior manager at Kurt Salmon, a global consultancy focused on the retail and consumer products sectors. Port holds a Master’s Degree in business management from Duke University and a Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia Tech.
“Our current growth rate and surging international demand for our platform requires that we continue investing in scaling our operations at every level, especially in professional services, support services and customer success,” said Port. “I look forward to helping lead Dell Boomi through our next phase of growth and positioning the company as the key enabler of a cloud-based world.”
