Bill Pessin, Salesforce
As senior vice president for Salesforce National Security, Bill Pessin helps move the needle on how agencies and organizations performing national security functions realize the value of commercial cloud high-performance/productivity platform-as-a-service and software-as-a-service capabilities.
Cloud providers have long struggled to offer true platforms and applications to this market segment where significant business and technology compliance and security requirements make delivering a true “commercial” cloud experience extremely challenging. Leveraging Salesforce’s recent launch of Hyperforce, Salesforce’s new public-cloud architecture, Pessin is looking to usher in a new era of more innovative and cost- and time-effective capabilities than the traditional custom development applications and systems predominately still employed.
