The former Google and Uber executive had been Salesforce's SVP of Government Relations, lobbying in Washington DC on behalf of the company, when she received an opportunity to sit on the board of a cannabis company, MedMen. Cannabis regulation is a hot-button issue on Capitol Hill.
Sitting on corporate boards is against Salesforce policy. Only Salesforce's c-suite, the majority of whom are men, are typically exempt. Christoff ultimately texted Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff that she intended to accept the board seat anyhow. She said she felt his policy had a discriminatory impact on women.Then she was let go.
The decision to fire Christoff has now sparked debate outside the company, since the executive has gone public with her version of events. that kickstarted the conversation.There aren't enough women and minorities on corporate boards. Nasdaq and others are stepping up to help.
