About Marc Benioff
Marc Benioff is chairman and CEO of salesforce.com. He founded the company in March 1999 with a vision to create an on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) solution that would replace traditional enterprise software technology. Benioff is now regarded as the leader of what he has termed “The End of Software,” the growing belief that on-demand applications can democratize business technology by delivering immediate benefits to companies of all sizes at reduced risks and costs. Under Benioff’s direction, salesforce.com has grown from a groundbreaking idea into a publicly traded company that is the market and technology leader in on-demand business services.

Benioff, a 25-year veteran of the software industry, is internationally recognized as one of the preeminent thinkers in information technology. Most recently, Computer Business Review magazine named Benioff number three on its “Top 10 Most Influential Movers & Shakers” list, reporting that “Benioff (has) learned a thing or two about how to achieve market dominance… that is what he has achieved in the on-demand enterprise applications space, and there are no immediate threats to his empire…” In addition, Benioff was recently ranked number 11 on the “50 People Who Matter” list published by Business 2.0 magazine, which recognized Benioff as a leader whose “vision of the future proved prophetic, foreshadowing the rise of the Web 2.0 phenomenon and creating nightmares for software vendors like Microsoft, SAP, and Siebel (RIP).”
