Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and his fast-rising COO Brian Millham tell us where the software giant is headed after 'a difficult time'

Well, we have to walk before we get to run here. Brian is amazing and president and chief operating officer, my most loyal partner at running the business for two and a half decades, and I couldn't be more excited to have him with this new capacity.I'm thrilled to be in this role.

But I'm also very excited about our Ohana, our culture, to be more involved in the day-to-day operations of our human resources organization, what we call employee success to really focus on our people. We have an incredible culture here. Marc said on our latest earnings call, it is our superpower at Salesforce.

We have great leadership on the IT side of the organization as well, which we call business technology, doing some incredible things with our own technology, to drive efficiencies, scale and our organization. And certainly I'm thrilled that the marketing organization comes under us as well.Brian, given the past few months of layoffs, do you think there's some repair work to be done? What do you mean getting more involved with the people?I do think we have to focus on our culture.

We're seeing many of our ex-employees want to come back to Salesforce, incredible boomerangs back to the company. Ariel Kelman has just been announced as our CMO and Miguel Milano is coming back as our chief revenue officer, and Kendall Collins is coming back as chief of staff. So a lot of people want to be back at this business and are inspired by what we're doing.
