Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, has opened up about the company’s 2023 layoffs, which saw the CRM leader cut its workforce by ten percent.
Speaking on the Behind the Founder podcast, host Lenny Rachitsky quizzed Benioff about a significant struggle or failure that he had endured throughout his career.
Despite more than 25 years at the helm of Salesforce, the CEO pointed to a relatively recent example, describing the process of initiating the layoffs in early 2023 as a “complete dumpster fire.”
