Challenge Accepted

Moving on from a #dreamjob.

THIS. IS. IT.

After almost 7 years of working at Salesforce…

After countless delivery and advisory engagements…

After leading APAC Practices for Salesforce Services (Mobile rocks!)…

After evangelizing about the power of the Platform (it’s more than just CRM!) to our partner ecosystem…

After attaining and maintaining 18 certifications (so far and counting) including the daunting but very fulfilling Certified Technical Architect (CTA) back in 2013…

After coaching and mentoring candidates or judging multiple CTA review boards in APAC…

After amassing over 100 Trailhead badges and becoming a #ranger…

After experiencing and presenting at multiple Dreamforce, World Tour, Basecamp and Partner Forum events…

After completing hundreds of life-changing volunteering and pro bono hours including a week in Cambodia to build a house for a local family and being part of bringing the ASDetect (Autism Detection) app to life…

I’m finally ready to move on and blaze my own trail (get it?).

Now don’t get me wrong. The Salesforce Ohana (“family” in Hawaiian) has been incredible to me throughout these years and I’m forever grateful. In fact, when you hear Salesforce employees say it’s a #dreamjob, you can be certain that they absolutely mean it.

Like others, working at Salesforce has opened up a lot of opportunities for me…

Through it’s 1:1:1 model, it has instilled in me the value of #givingback so much so that it has become a personal passion of mine…

It’s where I’ve met and worked with the most awe-mazing, inspiring and genuinely helpful people…

It has brought out the best in me…

It has made me obsessed with customer success…

It has challenged me every step of the way…

…but an even bigger challenge lies ahead. The start of a new adventure.

Watch this space. #challengeaccepted
