At Salesforce, a CEO Shift from Benioff to Taylor Draws Near

What will Salesforce look like when its co-founder and CEO, Marc Benioff, finally passes the baton to someone else?

The tech industry may get to find out sooner rather than later. In recent months, the company’s No. 2 executive, Bret Taylor, has confided to people close to him that he expects to be promoted to CEO of Salesforce soon, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter. That promotion, if it happens, would represent the most significant leadership change in the company’s history. Benioff has led Salesforce for the past 20 years, transforming it into a cloud software giant with a market value of nearly $270 billion.
