Salesforce’s reunion with former execs may lead to Marc Benioff loosening his grip

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff may finally be ready to loosen his grip on the company by wooing back former executives who understand his working style, according to insiders. Sources have said that Benioff’s leadership style can be challenging and employees must be intuitive to figure out what he wants. With Brian Millham set to take on more responsibility at Salesforce and co-CEO title in sight, insiders believe that bringing back trusted executives could help Benioff focus on other areas of the company. Salesforce is known for its cloud services, including customer relationship management software, marketing, customer support, and data analysis, among others. The company recently shook up its executive team with the return of Miguel Milano as chief revenue officer, Ariel Kelman as chief marketing officer, and Kendall Collins as chief of staff. The move marks a shift from eight months ago, when the company faced a wave of executive departures.
