Same thing, nit picking and even they refer to themselves as Pivotal.
"Mee oversaw Pivotal Labs’ acquisition by EMC Corporation in March 2012, and continues to lead and guide the vision for Pivotal Labs as vice president of the Cloud Application Platform Group at Pivotal."

There is no Cloud Application Platform Group at Pivotal Labs. This is also part of the greater Pivotal umbrella. Rob oversees that group and Pivotal Labs, which he founded.
