Salesforce tops earnings estimates, CFO Amy Weaver to step down
Joseph K
Salesforce shares rose 4% in extended trading on Wednesday after the business software maker reported robust fiscal second-quarter results that beat estimates and raised its full-year profit outlook.
The company also said Amy Weaver, its chief financial officer, will step down. She will remain at the company as the CFO until a successor is appointed and, after that, will stay on as an advisor. Salesforce will consider internal and external candidates, Marc Benioff, the company’s co-founder, chair and CEO, said on a conference call with analysts. He said it was his idea to have Weaver take over the lead financial role after joining as general counsel in 2013.
