On Sunday as I was surfing the Grammys, I saw a tweet from Marc Benioff and I said to myself – one of these years I should conspire to get a running commentary from him on the show. With his range of contacts in the industry and the range of genres which grace Dreamforce each year his insight would make for such a rich evening.
On Monday, I see he has jumped in into the debate about Silicon Valley’s charities. Our own view on charity is closer to home, more than on corporate giving – my wife donates to homeless and is very generous to our handymen and families – but you have to admire him for taking a stand.
Not everyone is a fan of Marc’s diverse interests or style, but as I wrote at Dreamforce, I certainly am. As a fan of Polymaths, I like colorful executives – at work and at play.
