History

Pivotal office in Toronto

Pivotal Software was formed in 2012 after spinning out of EMC Corporation. On April 24, 2013, the organization announced both a $105 million investment from General Electric and its PaaS offering, Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF), a cloud-enabled application platform for private cloud initiatives and public cloud providers.[1][2]

Paul Maritz became Pivotal's CEO immediately after the spin out.[2] Maritz joined EMC in February 2008 when Pi Corporation, a company he co-founded, was acquired and was previously the CEO of VMware.[3][4]

Paul Maritz became Pivotal's Chairman and Rob Mee, founder of Pivotal labs, became chief executive officer of Pivotal Software on August 18, 2015.
