Salesforce is celebrating its 25th anniversary with significant changes under the guidance of its co-founder, Parker Harris, who has recently taken on the role of Slack CTO in January. Harris, often referred to as the company's 'phantom' co-founder, is known for his behind-the-scenes influence and is now focusing on integrating Slack and leveraging artificial intelligence to drive the company forward. This move comes after a turbulent period for Slack, with the new CEO aiming to bring stability. Harris, who prefers to stay out of the spotlight, has been praised for his leadership and support for innovative ideas. His contributions are seen as pivotal to Salesforce's success, with Marc Benioff, another co-founder, acknowledging that there would be no Salesforce without Harris.
