Salesforce Inc., a cloud-based software firm, revealed it has appointed a new chief executive officer for its Slack subsidiary unit. It promoted its longtime executive, Denise Dresser, to lead its software arm.
Dresser’s appointment was announced by Salesforce’s co-founder and CEO, Marc Benioff, on Monday, Nov. 13. She is now the third chief of Slack since it was purchased by Salesforce three years ago. She is expected to take over the role immediately after the public declaration of her promotion.
“I could not be more excited to share the news that Denise Dresser is our new CEO of Slack! Denise is an incredible business leader who has excelled at every level in her career at Salesforce,” Benioff said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Her record of success, most recently as President of Accelerated Industries and before that as EVP, Enterprise Sales, includes driving some of our most important customer success ever.”
The Salesforce chief added, “Denise is a collaborative technology leader who brings teams together and has inspired me and so many of us with her deep commitment to our values and to our customers and to the spirit of innovation.”
Dresser’s Roles and History at Salesforce
As per CNBC, the new Slack chief has been an executive at Salesforce for more than 12 years now. Her most recent role before the new assignment was the firm’s president of accelerated industries.
She also served as a member of the Ad Council’s board of directors. She held several other top-ranking executive posts in her more than a decade of tenure at the company.
Dresser will be replacing Lidiane Jones as Slack’s CEO. The outgoing exec is leaving the firm to move to Bumble Inc. for the same role. In any case, she graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and worked at Oracle before joining Salesforce.
Jones is staying with Salesforce until the end of the year to help Dresser with the transition. Business Insider reported that the former Slack chief is set to start her work at Bumble on January 2.
