🎉 Celebrating 8 Incredible Years at Salesforce! 🎉 This week marks my 8th anniversary at Salesforce, and what a journey it has been! Reflecting on these years, I've gathered 3 key takeaways that have defined my experience: 1. **Innovation is in Our DNA 🧬** From trailblazing AI to empowering businesses of all sizes, Salesforce has always been at the forefront of innovation. I've witnessed firsthand how our solutions transform challenges into opportunities. Every new product launch feels like unwrapping a gift that keeps on giving! 2. **Ohana Culture: More Than Just a Buzzword 🌺** At Salesforce, "Ohana" isn’t just a word we throw around; it’s a way of life. The sense of community, support, and collaboration is unparalleled. Whether it's tackling projects or celebrating wins, being part of this family has made every moment meaningful and memorable. 3. **Learning Never Stops 📚** In a company where change is the only constant, the opportunities for learning and growth are endless. From trailhead badges to real-world problem-solving, Salesforce has been my ultimate classroom. The best part? The more I learn, the more I realize there’s always more to discover. Here’s to the past 8 years of growth, innovation, and camaraderie, and to many more years of blazing new trails together. Thank you to my incredible colleagues, mentors, and the entire Salesforce Ohana for making this journey unforgettable. 🙏 to my leaders and mentors across the years Ronal Karia Mark Malone ☁ Tom Smith Rob Begg Jonathan Beeston Maria Armishaw Bobby Jania Daniel Pell Marla Harger Thompson Russell Howe #Salesforce #Anniversary #Ohana #Innovation #Grateful #Trailblazer

Adding my 2 cents to what Paul already described beautifully: If you are doing anything for the community for the sake of "getting recognized as an MVP" then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Getting recognized (as MVP) is the cherry on the top. Your focus should be on the cake (serving the community / help people make connections)!

🌟🌟🌟 Exciting News: I've Earned My Triple Star Ranger Batch in Salesforce! 🌟🌟🌟 I am thrilled to announce that I've achieved the prestigious Triple Star Ranger status in Salesforce! 🚀 This journey has been nothing short of incredible, and I couldn't have done it without the support of an amazing community and the fantastic Salesforce team. What is a Triple Star Ranger, you ask? It's a recognition of my proficiency in Salesforce and my dedication to mastering its capabilities. 🌟🌟🌟 Here are a few highlights of my Salesforce journey: ✅ Achieved mastery in customizing Salesforce to fit unique business needs. ✅ Expertise in automation with Flow and Process Builder. ✅ Successfully managed complex data modeling and integrations. ✅ Leveraging AI with Einstein to drive data-driven decisions. This journey taught me the importance of continuous learning, adapting to new challenges, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Salesforce empowers businesses to reach new heights, and I'm committed to helping others do the same. I want to express my gratitude to Babji Neelam sir for providing great platform, my mentor Marni Srinu sir and kiran immandi sir and interns Adabala Santhosh Raj and pentapati sanjay guptha for their incredible support. 🙌 #Salesforce #TripleStarRanger #technicalhub

🚀 Reflecting on an incredible year 2023 filled with milestones, challenges, and rewarding achievements: 🌟 January marked a pivotal moment as RISE went live in the US—a game-changer for our team. Met my adorable person there unexpectedly! 🎢 February to March was a whirlwind, overseeing the rollout across 60 countries, setting the stage for monumental growth of RISE. 🔧 April brought complex challenges in Marketing Automation for logical closure, but overcoming them only strengthened our capabilities. The following months were dedicated to refining RISE, ensuring continuous improvements for better outcomes. Expanding on the previous achievements, the heartfelt engagement sentiment beautifully captures the personal connections and profound impact fostered by EU based large customers. These experiences transcend mere programs, forming lasting relationships and leaving a significant mark on both personal and professional fronts. 🌍 Mid-year onwards was a thrilling journey as I stepped into the role of MuleSoft EMEA Go-To-Market Leader, achieving Mule Certification and hitting the year's goals 😎 . Concurrently, spearheading as Global Salesforce Automation leader for 30+ accelerators in short span and pioneering GenAI automation for Support activities was both challenging and immensely rewarding. 🌱 Beyond professional milestones, reconnecting with the team in India was invigorating—team outings, school buddies meetup, and the IIMC meetup brought a sense of camaraderie and nostalgia. Personally, Swiss friends & colleagues, IIMC and PESU friends, India colleagues and Salesforce team, Mule team, school & Engg buddies.., my customers, my parents and lovely Bhumi & Ramachandra😍 for giving wonderful time during the entire year. 🎓 Personally, embarking on a new learning journey in Data Science post-graduation was enriching. Being honored with the Entrepreneur Award (special appreciation to Subha) and expanding my circle with incredible friends made the year even more fulfilling. 🌟 Looking ahead for 2024 vision, the ideation for human disruptive automation and the relentless pursuit of innovation will continue to be a driving force. Grateful for the lessons, the wins, and the growth this year has brought. Excited for what lies ahead! Cheers to continuous learning, growth, and making a meaningful impact in the coming year. 🚀✨ #YearReflection #Milestones #GrowthMindset

Each certification holds a unique story, and this particular one was all about the virtue of Patience. #salesforce #salesforcecertification #WIT #womenintech #consumergoods #accenture #keeplearning #alwaysimproving #salesforcearchitect

I took a look at Salesforce's Leadership Team (yeah I don't memorize leadership teams) And I was a bit shocked to see a few things. ❔ For a company that prides itself on equality and inclusion, there are 3 women on a 14 person board, or 21% ❔From visual inspection (not the most accurate) there are 4 persons of color, 28% ? Leaving the executive team largely composed of: middle aged white men ❔There are 7 Presidents ❔ There's a CTO and a Chief Engineering Officer, how are decisions delineated? I didn't break down the time in tenure or bios yet (that's another day), but I continue to see a different narrative from actions of the company's leadership than what their marketing engine says. But let's look at the Chief Product Officer, who is ultimately responsible with Marc for the vision of the platform: ? Founded Vlocity in 2014 ? Came onboard in 2020 as part of the acquisition and appointed CPO in 2021 of Salesforce ❔Prior to Vlocity, was part of Siebel Systems It's time for some fresh perspectives on this leadership team, and honestly, I think it's time for Marc and Parker to head towards a Strategic Advisor position. #salesforce #businesssystems

It was so lovely to open up my email and see this little celebratory anniversary reminder, from when I joined the team with MidAtlanticDreamin'? Signing up to volunteer for this #TrailblazerCommunity led, Salesforce conference had been one of the first steps in my journey that had brought the opportunities of growth and so much more. I'd never done anything like it before, but a few months prior to raising my hand at the #SalesforceNJ User Group meeting, I had made a vow to myself, that no matter any fears or concerns, I was going to move forward and either learn through any mistakes I make or celebrate my victories and expanding my skillset either way. Encouraging everyone out there to step out of their comfort zone and go for it, if you find yourself teetering with "Should I?" or "Should I not?" 👍😉👍 That's all for now.... back I go to other things I've taken on recently, for the first time.. Look out for the updates 😁 Wishing you all a fab rest of your day!
