Jan 2016 - current
In Salesforce professional services: Leading a group of mavericks and innovators helping our most strategic customers lead through change, where values underpin success and building alignment and perspective are as critical as the sharpest of tech. In Salesforce Product organization: Led the amazing teams that design the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform for our customers and users to ensure it's scalable, loveable, and accessible to all. This included; The Lightning Design System, Flow, App Builder, Data Manager, Trailhead in-app learning, Developer Experiences, Global Identity, Security, Employee Applications, Privacy, and the Global Navigation of both mobile and desktop. I can help think through: Thinking about the long-term while delivering today. Aligning stakeholders over time. How to scope professional services work. How to tell stories to get buy-in for product strategies. What to think about when merging teams together or breaking them up. How to inspire and engage your leadership team to your mission.
