Farewell, Salesforce!
Salesforce World Tour - Sydney - February 2023

Farewell, Salesforce!

Today marks my last day Salesforce . The last two and a half years have brought incredible experiences...from crafting the company's first data strategy to driving operational excellence through key enterprise transformations, it's been a lot of wonderful moments, but most importantly, today I'm parting filled with immense gratitude.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie

A huge thanks to Jim Alkove , Vikram Rao for bringing me into Salesforce, and for my team for their support along the way: Courtney Prince , Shankar Vedaraman , Kendra Chandra , Karim Habbal , Sanjay Trivedi, MBA , Sudheer Palyam , Toula Victor , Camille Armas and the best executive support partners Desirae Whalen & Catherine Groswird .

More to share about my next role in a week or so, but for now, THANK YOU Salesforce. It's been a great experience!


Note: As I was thinking about this farewell message, I had to turn it into a article to accommodate all the photos from the great memories.
