Fan-girling it here at Las Vegas airport with the Identity Jedi himself, the inestimable David Lee. Made our flight delay and being brought back to the gate to deplane until further notice a lot more bearable. (Boo! to flight delays)

Welcome to Identiverse!! I'm so excited to kick it off on stage this year in Las Vegas. www.identiverse.com 🎉🎊🎆 Doubly happy to attend with my work partner in crime Lori Robinson, and am looking forward to connecting with identity professionals from around the world at this week's event.

Last summer, I had been at Salesforce about a year and a half, and there were a few things on my mind about my organization and team. Our executive leadership always appeared accessible, so I thought why not send a Slack message to Marc Benioff ? After I sent it, I was petrified! Was I being presumptuous? Why would the CEO of this tech giant even take me seriously? To my sweet surprise two days later, Marc responded. He said Trust is our #1 value and he wanted to make sure I was being heard. He encouraged me to reach out to his co-founder Parker Harris who was leading the Security organization for the summer while our Chief Trust Officer took a well-deserved two-month break. Cue the horror and imposter syndrome! Things were getting real. I bit the bullet and contacted Parker, who was already doing double-duty as CTO and acting CTrO, fully confident that he would deem me a pesky annoyance in his busy schedule. But not even 3 hours later, Parker got back to me. He listened with kindness and zero judgment. Gave me his perspective. Encouraged me to understand how he saw things. And I was bowled over. You know when they say down-to-earth and salt-of-the-earth? Parker Harris is the very personification of those idioms. Salesforce wouldn't be Salesforce without Marc and Parker. And I am glad for it!! Here's to amazing things for the next 25 years at Salesforce and to the next bright chapter for Slack with Parker as its technology chief! ✨️ 💖
