Salesforce
- Salesforce COO Keith Block has been promoted to co-CEO, serving in the role alongside founder Marc Benioff.
- Otherwise, not much else seems to be changing: Benioff remains chairman of the board, and Block will keep his own board seat.
- Salesforce co-founder Parker Harris will be joining the board, too.
- Notably, Oracle — Salesforce's biggest rival — has two CEOs, too.
Since its founding in 1999, Salesforce has only had one chief executive: Marc Benioff, the bombastic ex-protege of Oracle's Larry Ellison, who led the cloud software company to its present market valuation of $105 billion.
Now, there will be two, as the company announces that Keith Block, formerly the chief operating officer, has been promoted to co-CEO of Salesforce. That puts him on an even keel to Benioff, as Block will now report straight to Salesforce's board of directors.
