 Exhibit 10.14 

Severance for Protection Period Agreement 

Executive is employed by Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (“Dell”), in a position of trust
and confidence. Dell and Executive have agreed as follows: 
 1. Although Executive’s employment remains at-will, if Executive’s
employment is terminated by Dell without Cause (as defined herein) within 36 months (or 40 months if Executive resigns by reason of Dell’s failure to pay the Special Incentive Bonus set forth in Executive’s offer of employment) of
Executive’s start date and Executive executes a Severance Agreement and Release as described in Executive’s Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement within 21 days of being presented with such an
Agreement and Release, then: 
 a. In addition to any amount of severance due to Executive under Executive’s Protection of Sensitive
Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement, Dell will provide Executive an additional amount equal to 6 months of Executive’s base salary plus the amount of Executive’s target annual bonus; 

b. In accordance with and subject to the terms of the Dell Inc. Special Incentive Bonus Plan (the “SIB Plan”), the Committee will
exercise its discretion to designate Executive as eligible to receive the next Bonus Payment to be paid under the SIB Plan, even though Executive has been separated prior to the date on which that single Bonus Payment is paid, and to set
Executive’s bonus at $2,000,000 for purposes of calculating that single Bonus Payment, with all capitalized terms in this sentence (other than “Executive” and “SIB Plan”) having the meaning assigned to them in the SIB Plan;
and 
 c. Executive will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the next otherwise unvested annual Award Payment in the amount of
$3,000,000 under the Dell Inc. Long-Term Cash Incentive and Retention Award Agreement given to Executive at the time of hire. 
 d. If
Executive does not receive an SIB of at least $2,000,000 for FY 16 then within 30 days of the SIB payout date, absent any mutually acceptable agreement between Dell and Executive, Executive may resign and receive a payout of 100% of the severance
provided in this Paragraph 1 and in the Executive’s Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement. If Executive does not receive an annual SIB payout of $2,000,000 for FY 17 or FY 18, then absent a mutually
acceptable written agreement between Dell and Executive, Executive may resign from Dell and receive a payout of 50% of such severance. 
 2.
If due under the terms of Paragraph 1, the payments described in Paragraph 1 will be made within 60 days of Executive’s termination and will be subject to all applicable taxes and withholdings. 

3. For purposes of this Agreement, and as defined in the Executive’s Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and
Nonsolicitation Agreement, “Cause” means: (a) a violation of Executive’s obligations regarding confidentiality or the protection of sensitive, confidential or proprietary information, or trade secrets; (b) an act or
omission by Executive resulting in Executive being charged with a criminal offense which constitutes a felony or involves moral turpitude or dishonesty; (c) conduct by Executive which constitutes gross neglect, insubordination, willful
misconduct, or a breach of Dell’s Code of Conduct or a fiduciary duty to Dell or its shareholders; or (d) Dell Senior Management’s determination that Executive violated state or federal law relating to the workplace environment,
including, without limitation, laws relating to sexual harassment or age, sex, race, or other prohibited discrimination. 
 4. The Committee
identified in the Dell Inc. Special Incentive Bonus Plan shall have the complete and absolute authority to construe and interpret the terms of this Agreement and to make all other determinations it deems necessary or advisable for the effective
administration of this Agreement. 

 5. Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, this Agreement is intended to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”), to the extent applicable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Code Section 409A.
Accordingly, all provisions herein, or incorporated by reference, shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A and, if necessary, any such provision shall be deemed amended to comply with the Code Section 409A and regulations
thereunder. If the payment period in Paragraph 2 falls in more than one calendar year, payment will be made in the second calendar year. If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions
under Code Section 409A, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. If Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within
the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A, then any payment under this Agreement that is considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such
payment shall be made within 30 days following the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service”, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent required
under Code Section 409A. While this Protection Period Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A, neither Dell or any of its affiliates makes or has made any representation, warranty or guarantee of any federal, state or local tax
consequences of your entitlements under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, under Code Section 409A. 
 6. This Agreement will be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to conflicts of laws principles. Executive and Dell agree the exclusive venue for resolving any dispute between them under, arising out of, or related
to this Agreement shall be the state and federal courts located in New Castle, Delaware. Executive consents to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New Castle, Delaware, and further agrees New Castle, Delaware, is a convenient
forum for the resolution of any dispute under, arising out of, or related to this Agreement. Accordingly, Executive hereby waives any objection to New Castle, Delaware, as a forum and venue for the hearing of any such dispute, including but not
limited to any objection based on convenience.

 Exhibit 10.15 

Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement 

Executive is employed by Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (“Dell”), in a position of trust
and confidence. Dell expects Executive to play a critical role in Dell’s future business operations and desires to provide Executive with the strategic tools and commitments necessary to enable Executive to help Dell achieve its long-term
goals. Likewise, Dell seeks to protect its sensitive, confidential and proprietary information, trade secrets and good will. Therefore, the Parties have agreed as follows: 

1. Although Executive’s employment remains at-will, if Executive’s employment is terminated by Dell without Cause (as defined herein), Dell will pay
Executive an amount equal to six months’ base salary, as severance, which Executive will receive upon Executive’s execution of a Severance Agreement and Release, in a form customarily used by Dell for its Executive Leadership Team and
which does not modify Executive’s right of indemnification or coverage under Dell’s Directors and Officers liability insurance, within 21 days of being presented with such an Agreement and Release. Dell will have no obligation to
offer or pay a severance to any Executive who resigns from Dell for any reason or is terminated by Dell for Cause (as defined herein), and all provisions of this Agreement, including paragraph 4a, will remain in full force and effect with respect to
any such Executive. 
 Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a
“specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code Section 409A”), then any payment under this Agreement that is considered
“non-qualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment shall be made within 30 days following the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period
measured from the date of such “separation from service”, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”), to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period,
all payments delayed pursuant to the previous sentence shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum. Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”), to the extent applicable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Code Section 409A. Accordingly, all provisions herein, or incorporated by reference,
shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A and, if necessary, any such provision shall be deemed amended to comply with the Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder. If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or
made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Code Section 409A, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. While this Agreement is
intended to comply with Code Section 409A, neither Dell or any of its affiliates makes or has made any representation, warranty or guarantee of any federal, state or local tax consequences of your entitlements under this Agreement, including,
but not limited to, under Code Section 409A. 
 For purposes of this agreement, “Cause” means: (a) a violation of Executive’s
obligations regarding confidentiality or the protection of sensitive, confidential or proprietary information, or trade secrets; (b) an act or omission by Executive resulting in Executive being charged with a criminal offense which constitutes
a felony or involves moral turpitude or dishonesty; (c) conduct by Executive which constitutes gross neglect, insubordination, willful misconduct, or a breach of Dell’s Code of Conduct or a fiduciary duty to Dell or its shareholders; or
(d) Dell Senior Management’s determination that Executive violated state or federal law relating to the workplace environment, including, without limitation, laws relating to sexual harassment or age, sex, race, or other prohibited
discrimination. 
 During Executive’s employment with Dell, Dell agrees to provide Executive with Sensitive Information (as that term is defined below)
and to associate Executive with Dell’s good will. 
 2. “Sensitive Information” means that subset of Dell confidential and proprietary
information, and trade secrets that is not generally disclosed to non-management employees of Dell. Sensitive Information includes, but is not limited to, the following: 

a. Technical information of Dell, its customers or other third parties that is in use, planned, or under development, such as but not limited
to: manufacturing and/or research processes or strategies (including design rules, device characteristics, process flow, manufacturing capabilities and yields); computer product, process and/or devices (including device specification, system
architectures, logic designs, circuit implementations); software product (including operating system adaptations or enhancements, language compilers, interpreters, translators, design and evaluation tools and application programs); and any other
databases, methods, know-how, formulae, compositions, technological data, technological prototypes, processes, discoveries, machines, inventions and similar items; 

 b. Business information of Dell, its customers or other third parties, such as but not limited to: actual
and anticipated relationships between Dell and other companies; financial information (including sales levels, pricing, profit levels and other unpublished financial data); global procurement processes, strategies or information; information
relating to customer or vendor relationships (including performance requirements, development and delivery schedules, device and/or product pricing and/or quantities, customer lists, customer preferences, financial information, credit information;
and similar items; 
 c. Personnel information of Dell, such as but not limited to: information relating to employees of Dell (including information
related to staffing, performance, skills, qualifications, abilities and compensation); key talent information; scaling calls; organizational human resource planning information; and similar items; and 

d. Information relating to future plans of Dell, its customers or other third parties, such as but not limited to: marketing strategies; new product
research; pending projects and proposals; proprietary production processes; research and development strategies; potential acquisitions; and similar items. 

3. Executive agrees not to use, publish, misappropriate, or disclose any Sensitive Information, or other confidential information, proprietary information or
trade secrets during or after Executive’s employment, except as required in the performance of Executive’s duties for Dell or as expressly authorized in writing by Dell. 

4. To protect Sensitive Information, Executive agrees to the following restrictive covenants: 

a. While Executive is employed by Dell and for the twelve-month period immediately following the end of Executive’s employment with Dell, Executive will
not, except as required to perform Executive’s duties for Dell, in any geographic region for which Executive had direct or indirect responsibility on behalf of Dell or in any geographic region for which Executive had Sensitive Information,
perform duties or services for a Direct Competitor, whether as an employee, consultant, principal, advisor, board member or any other capacity, that are substantially similar to the duties or services Executive performed for Dell at any time during
the last twenty-four months of Executive’s employment with Dell, or that require Executive to use, disclose or otherwise take advantage of any Sensitive Information obtained in the course of Executive’s employment with Dell. 

b. While Executive is employed by Dell and for the twelve-month period immediately following the end of Executive’s employment with Dell, Executive will
not, except as required to perform Executive’s duties for Dell, directly or indirectly, solicit (or assist another in soliciting) (i) any of Dell’s customers or prospective customers with whom Executive had contact on behalf of Dell during
the last twelve months of Executive’s employment with Dell; or (ii) any of Dell’s customers or prospective customers about whom Executive had any Sensitive Information during the last twenty-four months of Executive’s employment with
Dell. 
 c. While Executive is employed by Dell and for the twelve-month period immediately following the end of Executive’s employment with Dell,
Executive will not, except as required to perform Executive’s duties for Dell, encourage (or assist another in encouraging) any supplier, business partner, or vendor of Dell with whom Executive had any contact on behalf of Dell within the last
twenty-four months of Executive’s employment with Dell or about whom Executive had any Sensitive Information to terminate or diminish its relationship with Dell. 

  
 2 

 d. While Executive is employed by Dell and for the twelve-month period immediately following the end of
Executive’s employment with Dell, Executive will not, except as required to perform Executive’s duties for Dell, directly or indirectly solicit (or assist another in soliciting) for employment, consulting, or other service engagement any
employee, contractor, or consultant of Dell or any person who was an employee, contractor, or consultant of Dell at any time during the last twenty-four months of Executive’s employment with Dell. 

e. While Executive is employed by Dell and for the twelve-month period immediately following the end of Executive’s employment with Dell, Executive will
not, except as required to perform Executive’s duties for Dell, directly or indirectly advise, assist, attempt to influence or otherwise induce or persuade (or assist another in advising, attempting to influence or otherwise inducing or
persuading) any person employed by Dell to end his or her employment relationship with Dell. 
 For purposes of all agreements between Dell and Executive,
the term “Direct Competitor” means any of the following companies: Accenture, Acer, Apple, CDW, Cognizant, Computer Sciences Corporation, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Infosys, Lenovo, Oracle, Tata, and Wipro. Once each calendar year during
Executive’s employment and again within 14 days following Executive’s termination of employment, Dell shall have the right to add or substitute new companies, provided, however, that in no event will the number of company competitors
exceed 25. 
 5. Executive represents and agrees that, following the end of Executive’s employment with Dell, Executive will be willing and able to
engage in employment not prohibited by this Agreement. If Executive subsequently desires to pursue an opportunity prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, Executive agrees to make written request to Dell’s Human Resources Senior Vice
President for a modification of the restrictions contained in this Agreement prior to pursuing the opportunity, such request to include the name and address of the entity or business concern involved (if any) and the title, nature, and duties of the
activity Executive wishes to pursue. 
 6. Dell and Executive agree and believe that the terms of this Agreement are reasonable and do not impose a greater
restraint than necessary to protect Dell’s Sensitive Information, goodwill, and Dell’s other legitimate business interests. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds this not to be the case, Dell and Executive agree that the terms of
this Agreement are hereby automatically reformed and rewritten to the extent necessary to make the Agreement valid and enforceable. Dell and Executive also agree to request that the Court not invalidate or ignore the terms of this Agreement but
instead to honor this provision by reforming or modifying any overbroad or otherwise invalid terms to the extent needed to render the terms valid and enforceable and then enforcing the Agreement as reformed or modified. It is the express intent
of Dell and Executive that the terms of this Agreement be enforced to the full extent permitted by law. 
 7. Executive acknowledges and agrees that a
violation of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to Dell, and Executive agrees that Dell will be entitled to an injunction restraining any violation or further violation of such provisions. In this connection, Executive covenants that
Executive will not assert in any proceeding that any given violation or further violation of the covenants contained in this Agreement: (i) will not result in irreparable harm to Dell; or (ii) could be remedied adequately at
law. Dell’s right to injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by law or equity. 
 8. This agreement
supplements Executive’s other agreements regarding the protection of Dell’s sensitive, confidential or proprietary information, trade secrets and good will and supersedes any prior agreements entitled “Protection of Sensitive
Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement.” No waiver of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Dell’s Chief 

  
 3 

 
Executive Officer. This Agreement may not be superseded by any other agreement between Executive and Dell unless such agreement specifically and expressly states that it is intended to
supersede the Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement between Executive and Dell. 
 9. This Agreement will not be
effective until you have acknowledged and agreed to the terms and conditions set forth herein by executing this Agreement in the space provided below. Once signed, please fax the Agreement to 512-283-1990. 

I have carefully read this Agreement. I understand and accept its terms. I agree that I will continue to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement after my employment with Dell has ended.
