Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said Monday that Slack had named Denise Dresser as its next chief executive. She'll succeed Lidiane Jones, who's leaving at the end of the year. Dresser, who has worked for Salesforce for 12 years, is president of accelerated industries at Salesforce. "Denise is an incredible business leader & champion of Salesforce customer success and innovation who's deeply committed to our values and our customers," Benioff tweeted. Jones is set to start as CEO of Bumble Inc. on January 2.
Main Idea: Slack has named Salesforce executive Denise Dresser as its next CEO, marking another leadership change at the company.
Key Points:
More CEO turnover at Slack and Salesforce can disrupt products and support that workers and small businesses use every day.
Denise Dresser could bring steadier management and new AI-focused changes that improve Slack for business users.
