Third Point joins other activist investors with stakes in Salesforce – potentially threatening co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff’s position with the vendor.
A fifth activist investor, Third Point, has taken a stake in enterprise applications vendor Salesforce, potentially threatening co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff’s position with the vendor.
New York-based Third Point, led by CEO and founder Dan Loeb, joins Starboard Value, ValueAct Capital Partners, Elliott Investment Management and Jeff Ubben’s Inclusive Capital as an activist investor taking share of the San Francisco-based vendor, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Third Point has taken stakes in Campbell Soup, Walt Disney Co. and Shell before pushing for changes, according to the Journal.
Notably, Third Point took a stake in Intel in 2020 before the chipmaker’s CEO Bob Swan stepped down and was replaced by VMware leader Pat Gelsinger.

CRN has reached out to Third Point and Salesforce for comment.
Although the end goals of the activist investors aren’t publicly known yet, along with Third Point’s history of CEO changes, Elliott Management has a history of taking publicly traded companies private.
Elliott Management recently made headlines for its role in Citrix going private and merging with data applications vendor Tibco. The activist investors could potentially push Salesforce to make more job cuts or divest one or multiple subsidiaries – which include Slack, MuleSoft and Tableau.
Gerry Szatvanyi, CEO of OSF Digital, a Québec-based Salesforce partner, told CRN in an interview that he has been happy with the company’s leadership.
“I’m pretty confident in the leadership with Salesforce,” Szatvanyi said. “I’m very confident that they are going to drive through this transformation quite well. So they still have my vote of confidence, hands down.”
OSF has experienced some of the slowdown in business discussed by Salesforce and other vendors, Szatvanyi said. But he still expects north of 20 percent growth in business from 2022 to 2023.
In January, OSF even announced the purchase of U.S.-based Salesforce partner Original Shift as part of OSF’s growth strategy.
“I would say demand, it’s still pretty healthy,” Szatvanyi said. “We see a lot of desire, on our customers’ side, to better use the technology that they already have. (To) better integrate between different (Salesforce) clouds, gain more efficiencies, drive higher return on the technology that they already have.”
He continued: “Salesforce is at the center of everything that we are doing.”
The activist investors come as Salesforce – and other tech vendors – contend with moderated customer demand for digital tools after a surge at the height of the pandemic. In January, Salesforce announced layoffs for about 7,000 employees.
The company also seen the departure of key leaders Bret Taylor, Benioff’s former co-CEO, and Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield.
Salesforce’s total market value in 2022 went from $250.3 billion at the start of the year to $132.6 billion by year’s end.
The activists appear to have had a hand in changes coming to Salesforce’s board of directors. Salesforce will have three new board of directors members come March 1 – and lose two longtime members.
The Microsoft Dynamics 365 product suite contains a comprehensive set of tools built to perform practically every aspect of business management. Based on Microsoft Azure, a cloud-computing ecosystem―although an on-premise solution is also available, if preferred―Dynamics 365 features 11 core “modules,” which cover everything from sales, customer service, automation and marketing to talent management, finance and operation, retail and AI. What sets Microsoft Dynamics 365 apart from the competition is the full integration with Microsoft’s extensive list of software including the classics we all know and love, like OneDrive, Excel and Outlook.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers three main sales plans and two main customer service plans designed to cover a wide variety of business needs. On top of that, Microsoft Dynamics 365 has a whole host of add-ons for businesses with specific needs. Most of Microsoft Dynamics 365 plans are discounted to $20 per user, per month, if the user already has one Dynamics 365 product.
The Microsoft Dynamics 365 product tiers start with the Sales Professional at $65 per user, per month, billed annually. The Professional plan offers an extensive suite of sales executing services, full reporting and analysis with exports to Excel and some amount of customization.
The Sales Enterprise, at $95 per user, per month, adds knowledge management and gamification as well as a limited amount of contextual insights and AI.
The Sales Premium plan, at $135 per user, per month, offers the full package when it comes to sales acceleration, fully customizable solutions and more in-depth contextual insights and conversational intelligence.

Salesforce (CRM) shares rose as much as 3.4% Thursday after activist shareholder Third Point LLC reportedly took a stake in the embattled business software giant.
Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC is at least the fifth activist firm to make a significant investment in the company recently, joining Elliott Investment Management, Starboard Value, ValueAct Capital Partners, and Inclusive Capital. The size of Third Point's investment and its intentions could not be confirmed.
Shares of Salesforce plunged 48% last year, mirroring investors' broader distaste for technology stocks but also reflecting the company's financial challenges and concerns about its leadership.
Salesforce in November reported its fiscal 2023 third-quarter profit fell 55% from the same period the prior year, with rising expenses outpacing a 14% revenue increase.
In January, the company announced plans to cut 10% of its workforce, totaling about 8,000 jobs, and reduce office space in a large restructuring—the company's first in its 23 years of existence—that could cost as much as $2 billion. The company will announce its full-year earnings results March 1.
The company's financial woes have coincided with disarray in its executive leadership. Co-CEO Bret Taylor left the company at the end of January after sharing the role with co-founder Marc Benioff since late 2021.
Taylor helped guide the company's $27 billion acquisition of Slack Technologies, the largest transaction ever for a firm that seemingly specializes in them. Salesforce has made 72 acquisitions in the past 16 years, and critics now question that buying spree.
Stewart Butterfield, Slack's former CEO who joined Salesforce upon completion of that deal, also recently left the company.
In a letter to employees announcing January's layoffs, Benioff conceded the firm hired too many employees as sales rebounded dramatically in the wake of pandemic shutdowns.
That explanation apparently didn't satisfy the company's workforce. About 500 Salesforce employees reportedly sent a letter to the company's leadership, demanding answers about the layoffs.
Meanwhile, Salesforce's shares have rebounded considerably since the start of the year, gaining 31% after rising as high as $175.37 per share Thursday. That's still 44% less than the stock's all-time high of $311.75 reached 15 months ago.
Morgan Stanley analysts, in a recent research report, said they think the stock's rebound could continue. They raised their price target on the company's shares to $236, up from $228.
Despite the company's current turmoil, Morgan Stanley praised management's recent shift from growth objectives to profitability.
Moreover, stakes from activist firms "with proven records of helping (or pushing) software companies to better realize inherent value, may help to bolster confidence Salesforce should continue to head in the right direction," the firm's report stated.

Many years ago, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Buddhist monk and spiritual leader, posed a question to Marc Benioff, the co-founder and chief executive of Salesforce.
“What is more important, being successful or being happy?” he asked.
Mr. Benioff answered pretty much the way you would expect a Silicon Valley entrepreneur to answer.
“Both,” he said.
Thich Nhat Hanh cautioned that “if everything is important, nothing is important.” But for many years it seemed that Mr. Benioff, just like Silicon Valley itself, was able to have success as well as happiness — not to mention money, respect and influence.
Salesforce, which makes software to help companies sell better, became a hard-driving and influential tech company, the biggest employer in San Francisco. Mr. Benioff, 58, became a philanthropist, the advocate for a new model of capitalism and, at least in the Bay Area, as inescapable as the 61-story tower that bears his company’s name.
Then came 2022. Suddenly Salesforce made less money. The stock wilted. An activist investor, Starboard Value, bought a stake, never good news for management. Mr. Benioff’s co-chief executive, Bret Taylor, abruptly departed after only a year in the job. He was the second co-chief executive to do so, leaving the question of succession to Mr. Benioff’s 24-year reign at the company in doubt.
Last month, Salesforce said it would lay off 10 percent of its staff, a decision that seemed to go against Mr. Benioff’s repeated declarations that the company was one big family. He was chastised on social media for handling the cuts poorly. A second activist investor, Elliott Management, bought a stake in Salesforce. Then another and another and another. For those keeping count, that’s five.
“Marc believes you can have a great company, deliver great returns to your shareholders and help your community and your planet, all at the same time,” said Steve Fisher, a longtime Salesforce employee who was also a teenage friend of Mr. Benioff’s. “This is one of the times when that notion is being tested.”
Salesforce’s troubles, like those of many of its tech peers in this moment of turmoil, spring from the pandemic. Three years ago, it looked as if technology might save humanity. For tens of millions of people, tech was suddenly the interface between their couch and their job.
“In the darkest depths of the pandemic, I was like, ‘How will we ever get out of this?’” Mr. Benioff said in one of a series of conversations with The New York Times over the past week. Maybe, he thought, we would not. “I felt we were going to be pivoting much more aggressively to an all-digital day.”
Salesforce’s big pandemic purchase, announced in late 2020, was the remote-work app Slack for $28 billion. If everyone was going to stay on Slack all day long forever, it was cheap at that price. But they didn’t, and it wasn’t.
The troubles at Salesforce may be more wide ranging, but they are mirrored all over the tech industry. About 100,000 tech workers have been laid off since the beginning of the year, according to Layoffs.fyi. That’s a rounding error for the larger economy, but these workers were until recently among the best paid and best treated. The notion that free massages, say, might no longer be part of the Silicon Valley experience was yet more evidence that tech was losing its pandemic grip.
Salesforce never offered massages, but its corporate philosophy promotes the idea that its workers are special. A word Mr. Benioff tosses around a lot is “Ohana,” which he picked up in Hawaii. “Ohana represents the idea that families — blood-related, adopted, or intentional — are bound together, and that family members are responsible for one another,” Salesforce’s website says.
Mr. Benioff sees no contradiction between layoffs and the Salesforce Ohana. Families are sometimes difficult.
“I wish I offered lifetime employment,” he said. “But the reality is when you have a big company with 80,000 employees, there are going to be times you have to make a head count adjustment. Our layoff packages are some of the most generous ever.” The dismissed employees got a minimum of nearly five months’ pay.
It may have come as a shock to some, he added, but layoffs at Salesforce are nothing new.
“There’s been some hard times since we began in 1999,” he said. “It’s not all up and to the right. But this is the opportunity for growth. If you’re in a steady state, you don’t grow.”
A random sampling of laid-off Salesforce employees contacted through employment sites yielded few who wanted to complain about Mr. Benioff, even anonymously. “I think he got lost somewhere, had too many sycophants telling him what he wanted to hear,” one offered. That was as savage as it got.
Mr. Benioff, though, had lots to say, often by text — sometimes words but also photos, links and emojis. His mother, Joelle, said in an interview that he was “not a big talker” as a child but now has words to spare. At a virtual company meeting after last month’s layoffs, he talked for two hours.
Bad idea, he says now.
“We were trying to explain the unexplainable,” Mr. Benioff said. “It’s hard to have a call like that with such a large group and have it be effective, and we paid a price.” Other tech companies didn’t bother with hand holding: They just cut off their former employees’ access in the middle of the night.
It was a rough month at Salesforce. Mr. Benioff went to one of his favorite places, French Polynesia, for a 10-day digital detox.
“We are so addicted to our devices (at least I am) it’s very freeing to leave them all behind for a while!” he wrote in a text.
On an earlier trip, he had contributed $1 million in cash to local pandemic relief. For these and other services to the French, he is now a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur. He made his family listen to the speech.
Any conversation with Mr. Benioff inevitably touches on his grandfather Marvin E. Lewis, a San Francisco trial lawyer and politician who was a major force behind BART, the regional transit system.
Mr. Lewis was best known for developing the concept of “psychic injury.” His most famous case, in 1970, was called “The Cable Car Named Desire.” A dancer, Gloria Sykes, said she had hit her head in a cable car accident, lost her “mental balance” and developed “an insatiable appetite for sex” as well as other problems, including at least one suicide attempt. With Mr. Lewis as her lawyer, Ms. Sykes was awarded $50,000 by a jury.
“He was truly a visionary,” Mr. Benioff said. “He was in business as a lawyer but made the world a better place.” He texted a photo of a tribute to Mr. Lewis in a BART station that calls him “a determined prophet.”
If a lawyer can scale these heights, why not a tech executive? Especially if he can make himself happy in the process?
“You’re not going to be happy if you’re not giving to others,” Mr. Benioff said. “A lot of my tech peers are extremely unhappy.”
Salesforce, and Mr. Benioff, have undoubtedly made major contributions to the well-being of San Francisco. But more questions are being asked these days about the inherent contradictions of working for the powerful to aid the powerless. As a reviewer on Amazon wrote of Mr. Benioff’s book “Trailblazer: The Power of Business as the Greatest Platform for Change”: “Benioff often seems surprised at the scale of the problems in the world, despite many of his customers playing a part in them.”
“Marc makes himself a target for criticism by positioning himself as much more than a rampant capitalist tech bro,” said Joshua Greenbaum, a software industry analyst with Enterprise Applications Consulting. “But if you don’t want your company to pay taxes” — Salesforce paid no tax, legally, on billions in corporate income — “what right do you have to lecture people on how to make the world better?”
And if your company is faltering, Mr. Greenbaum said, you have even less right. Mr. Benioff posted more than 30 times on Twitter in January about his initiative to restock the world’s forests, a cause he was promoting at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. There were no tweets acknowledging Salesforce’s turmoil.
“Marc has let the cash cow meander out into the weeds,” Mr. Greenbaum said.
That is the logic behind the stakes taken by the activist investors, which also include Third Point, Inclusive Capital and ValueAct Capital. Maybe Mr. Benioff can be compelled to bring the cow home faster, or he can step down in favor of someone who will. None of the activists would comment, but Mr. Benioff would.
“I’m as excited about our future as all our investors are — I’m a stockholder too!” he texted, adding a heart emoji.
Salesforce shares have rebounded since the layoffs were announced. But to fend off the activists and extend his reign, Mr. Benioff needs to Excellerate profit margins. That quest is likely to prompt more stress in the Salesforce family, perhaps even more layoffs. Which means Thich Nhat Hanh’s question still hangs there — success or happiness?
“What do I really want? The answer is trust,” Mr. Benioff said. “Trust from our employees, trust from our customers.”
This is, of course, a salesman’s answer. From Marc Benioff, would you expect any different?
Suspended 70 feet above ground, Salesforce Park is a lush green oasis amid sky-high buildings in downtown San Francisco. The verdant 5.4-acre park that crowns the Salesforce Transit Center is an interesting case study for how to build green spaces in dense urban centers. (Despite the name, the park does not top the Salesforce Tower itself.) Where else can you take a gondola to a rooftop park, stroll botanic gardens or see a performance before catching your bus?
The public park features a living roof with a trail that follows a wave-like pattern along the exterior of the space. Benches, grassy lawns, a fountain that "dances," a children’s play area and even an amphitheater make up the park's landscape.
Next up for Salesforce Park: Shō, a 5,000 square-foot Japanese-inspired public restaurant and private club is expected to open in the fall of 2023. It will feature a sunken irori-style grill and offer Japanese farmhouse fare on its main floor and sushi rolls and more modern dishes upstairs. An NFT-based club membership will unlock special menus and other perks (costs are expected to range from $7,500 to $300,000).
Here are nine more fascinating things to know about Salesforce Park, an urban park built in the sky.
The park's 1,200-foot long white and gray granite "Bus Fountain" is equipped with 247 water jets that are completely dependent on the transit park's bus schedule. That’s because motion sensors are embedded in the ceiling of the space the buses pass through, triggering the frequency, motion and height of the fountain’s water. So, unlike standard computer-controlled fountains, the buses are the choreographers of this public art piece.
At 1,200 feet, Salesforce Park claims the Bus Fountain is one of the world's longest water artworks.
More than 600 trees and 16,000 plants live in Salesforce Park. Thirteen different gardens encircle the park with flora that thrives in an array of landscapes, from deserts to Mediterranean climates. The living green roof cools the surrounding environment, filters exhaust and improves air quality.
There's a Wetland Garden, which has a bamboo grove and an oak meadow. There's also Chilean, South African and Australian gardens, and a redwood forest. In the Mediterranean Basin, find olive trees and cork oak trees, which are traditionally harvested to produce wine corks.
Gingko trees, one of the oldest living tree species, are growing in the Prehistoric Garden alongside ferns and monkey puzzle trees. Over in the Fog Garden, plants like pineapple and guava grow. The sprawling rooftop park is also home to California, Palm and Desert gardens.
Bare Bottle Brew Co. runs a beer garden in the main plaza of Salesforce Park. It has roughly 20 beers on tap, plus a few California wine options and empanadas served with chimichurri. The beer list includes creative brews like an Acai-C-U-Later fruited sour ale, a hot mango pepper beer and a Mexican hot chocolate stout. They also have a solid selection of IPAs.
Among the public art installations at the Salesforce Transit Center is a nearly 180-foot-long double-sided LED screen that wraps the Grand Hall’s giant Light Column. Jenny Holzer's "White Light" installation displays excerpts of 40-plus texts from writers who spent time in the Bay Area, including Maya Angelou, Joan Didion and Harvey Milk. Those paying close attention might pick up on a recurring theme, with many of the texts pertaining to fog. The texts are best viewed in low light.
A crane operator working at the Salesforce Transit Center site in 2012 unearthed a fossil of a mammoth tooth that had been lodged 100 feet below sea level. The 10-inch-long brown, black and beige chomper was broken into two pieces, but otherwise was in remarkable condition, with the enamel still intact. The tooth is now displayed at the California Academy of Sciences, and scientists have confirmed it belonged to a Columbian mammoth.
Both Columbian and Wooly mammoths roamed North and Central America 8,000 to 150,000 years ago. These now-extinct, elephant-like creatures had massive tusks and six sets of four molars in their jaws. Fun fact: when old teeth fell out, new ones could grow in.
A gondola is seen rising to Salesforce Park in San Francisco, Calif.
Neal Wong/Getty Images/iStockphotoForget your run-of-the-mill escalator, elevator or stairs. For a scenic (and free) ride to the park, you can choose to board the glass-encased Salesforce gondola from the plaza and glide to the park, getting an aerial view of the cityscape (it's a short view — the ride is only about a minute long). Unlike ski gondolas, which you sit in, passengers stand in the Salesforce Park gondola.
The gondola’s hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 1 to Oct. 31 and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 1 to April 30. The gondola is privately operated by Boston Properties, owner of adjacent Salesforce Tower.
The length of Salesforce Park is equivalent to four and a half football fields. The total building area is more than one million square feet. To put things in perspective, the park is longer than the Salesforce Tower is tall — and that's saying a lot given that the tower is the tallest skyscraper in San Francisco and the twelfth tallest in the United States, clocking in at 1,070 feet. A whopping 25,000 tons of steel were used in the construction of the transit center and park, which translates to the approximate weight of 5,000 elephants.
Salesforce Park keeps a busy calendar of free events, including fitness classes, live entertainment, children’s activities and more. On the west end of the park, the amphitheater can hold up to 1,000 people. The park hosts yoga classes, concerts and movie nights under the stars.
The park also has a children's play area with climbing ropes, spongy protective flooring and recess carts stocked with art supplies, books and games available to borrow while in the park. There are also children storytimes.
More park-hosted classes and events include HIIT workouts, Zumba classes, birding walks, garden tours and drum circles. And the Midday Music free concert series happens from noon to 2 p.m. every Thursday on the park’s Main Plaza.
Salesforce Tower dominates San Francisco's skyline.
Steve Proehl/Getty ImagesWhile you’re free to unfurl a yoga mat and strike some poses at the Salesforce rooftop park, other athletic activities are mostly prohibited — it would be bad news if a baseball went flying through an adjacent office window. With the exception of service animals, pets also aren't allowed in the park.
Salesforce Park hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. May 1 to Oct. 31 and 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 1 to April 30. While Salesforce Tower parking is available on an hourly or daily basis in a lot, there’s no parking lot at Salesforce Transit Center, which has an emphasis on public transportation.

InVisory is the first data-driven advisory marketplace that matches customer requirements to Salesforce AppExchange offerings
NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- InVisory, the cloud advisory marketplace for Salesforce AppExchange, today announced it has acquired GTM Guides, a Salesforce ecosystem success company. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition enhances InVisory's ability to help Salesforce Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and certified consulting firms increase their lead generation, strategic partnerships, brand awareness, and better align with target customers. InVisory has more than 4,000 monthly active users and more than 20 ISVs and consulting firm customers since its product launched 120 days ago. Patrick Cronan founded InVisory in January 2022, with a $2 million dollar personal investment. He hired co-founder Nish Mishra in June 2022, and the team has grown to 13 members since the company began. InVisory projects revenue to exceed $7 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2023.

"With thousands of ISV and consulting firms in AppExchange, we've built the first centralized hub where Salesforce customers can quickly and confidently find the best partner based on mission-critical priorities," said Cronan, CEO of InVisory. "With GTM Guides, we're addressing the need to help AppExchange vendors connect with customers based on buyer intent and specific requirements."
InVisory has built an entirely data-driven algorithm for scoring ISVs and consulting firms from the Salesforce ecosystem and is the only cloud advisory marketplace that is 100% objective. It differs from traditional SaaS and services vendor research, which is cumbersome and prone to commercial influence or technology showcase portals that offer a scoring system based solely on reviews.
InVisory eliminates time-consuming and inaccurate vendor searches forever. Salesforce end-users simply provide InVisory with exactly what they need -- apps or services. The platform analyzes structured data on feature and capability parameters and acts as a customer-to-vendor matchmaking guide to speed up the RFP short-list process. For vendors, it provides the most granular buyer intent data on the market to increase lead generation with highly relevant target customers.
Today, AppExchange vendors invest considerable time, money, and resources to list solutions and hope that once there, the channel will dramatically increase growth. The reality is it's not that simple. GTM Guides addresses this by helping Salesforce ecosystem vendors better engage and represent themselves by highlighting strengths and expertise that align with the needs of potential customers. InVisory will integrate and automate the GTM Guides deliverables to help existing and new customers achieve higher ROI for the business.
Mike Davis, founder of GTM Guides, will join InVisory as chief revenue officer (CRO), and Sienna Quirk will serve as VP of Marketing. "GTM Guides is a perfect fit for InVisory as we bring more than 70 customer-facing and partner-facing templates to help product marketing and alliance teams drive top-line growth more effectively and efficiently," said Davis. "Coming together with InVisory enables us to serve more clients and continue to innovate to help ISVs become great companies in the Salesforce ecosystem."
About InVisory
InVisory is a cloud advisory marketplace for the Salesforce AppExchange. It harnesses data analytics to quickly and objectively identify the best ISVs and consulting firms for Salesforce end-users based on precise requirements. For AppExchange vendors, it increases business value by improving lead generation, brand awareness, competitive intelligence, and go-to-market strategies. InVisory plans to expand its data-driven advisory marketplace model to other ecosystems in the future. For more information, please visit www.invisory.co.
