Marc Benioff
The founder and CEO of Salesforce, a cloud computing company that debuted in 1999, Marc Benioff is another innovator who turned the software industry on its head. He spearheaded the trend of offering software as a service rather than building it for customer relationship management (CRM).
Benioff continues to build his brand as the leader in cloud computing, even penning the best seller, “Behind the Cloud.” He continues to develop new products within the cloud computing space and lead in philanthropy. Since going public in January 2004, Salesforce stock is up nearly 1,200 percent. Benioff is another visionary to watch.
