Salesforce COO Bret Taylor said he hopes to "double down" on the strategies former co-CEO Keith Block implemented during his time at the company.
Taylor told attendees at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference earlier this week that when he looks at Block's legacy at Salesforce, he sees an opportunity to build on the deep relationships Block helped foster with customers and partners. "...We're really providing these business-critical processes for these industries and really kind of speaking the language of our customers in every interaction in a way that, I think, really with the transformation for the company, I think Keith deserves a lot of credit for," Taylor said.
Taylor was promoted to Block's old chief operating officer position last fall, after previously holding the chief product officer role. He joined Salesforce in 2016 when Salesforce acquired his company Quip. Block was promoted to the co-CEO position in August 2018 before leaving his post last month.
