Why Michael Dell Is ‘Quite Optimistic’ About The World Economy ‘We’re having a lot of people come back who now want to get things in a safer condition and start to add some of the governance, security, and things that they lacked in the interest of speed,’ says Bob Keblusek, CTO of Sentinel Technologies. By Mark Haranas May 11, 2021, 11:27 AM EDT Michael Dell is bullish about the world economy ahead as many businesses around the globe are benefitting from a “reimagining of cost” stemming from the COVID-19-related lockdowns with “pent-up” technology demands in 2021. “The world economy feels pretty good right now,” said Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies during a media and analyst Q&A session at Dell Technologies World. “If you look at businesses, certainly on the earning side, many benefited from a reimagining of cost during the lockdowns, and there’s been a carry-forward of those learnings. Plus, now you have a significant pent-up demand, and you have stimuluses by many central governments.”
