I was thrilled to reunite with a friend and former coachee of mine who also happens to be one of the most successful Sales Leaders in the UK, SVP of Cloud Services at Salesforce, Maddy Storr.
Maddy starter in career in her (small) family business, later working in recruitment which she says proved the foundation for her future success. She joined Salesforce a decade ago as an Account manager and has enjoyed tremendous success ever since. She transitioned into first line leadership in 2019, and was promoted into 2nd line leadership in 2022, and in 2024 she transitioned into a third-line leadership role with responsibility for leading the Salesforce Digital business, Revenue & Commerce Clouds, Slack and Service Cloud organisations across UKI.
