Storage giant EMC (NYSC: EMC) of Hopkinton, MA, said today that veteran software executive Harel Kodesh has been appointed president of the company’s Cloud Infrastructure division and CEO of Decho, a new subsidiary formed in November from the combination of EMC’s Mozy and Pi divisions. Kodesh is the former chief products officer at Missouri-based telecommunications billing provider Amdocs, and helped to create the Windows CE embedded operating system for Microsoft as vice president of its Information Appliances Division. As Greg reported in November, Decho will focus on cloud-computing-based approaches to managing individuals’ digital information.
