Investing.com -- Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) has named Denise Dresser as the new head of its Slack workplace messaging service, according to a post on social media site X from Chief Executive Officer Marc Benioff.
"Denise is an incredible business leader who has excelled at every level in her career at Salesforce," Benioff wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "With Denise’s leadership, Slack is well positioned to unlock the power of Salesforce [...] and make it the place where work happens for more and more of our customers."
Dresser, an internal executive who previously ran Salesforce's accelerated industries division, will become the third person to take the helm at Slack in the past year. The platform's prior CEO, Lidiane Jones, left earlier this month to succeed Whitney Wolfe Herd as the boss of dating app Bumble.
San Francisco-based Salesforce, known for its customer relations management software, purchased Slack for $27.7 billion in 2021, as it looked to take advantage of a boom in demand for cloud-computing services during the pandemic.
