Mark Benioff, the billionaire entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Salesforce, expects the company will come out of the Covid Crisis stronger than ever and will even break the $32 billion mark in sales in 2023.
Appearing on the CNBC show Mad Money on Tuesday, Mark Benioff told the host Jim Cramer that the end of 2021 was “an extraordinary quarter, maybe the best quarter we’ve ever had, and you can really see it not just in the quarterly guidance, but where we’re looking for next fiscal year.”
