Welcome to the 100th episode! 2 years ago I started this podcast with my first guests, Irenka Krone and Nina Prochazka from Switzerland. And with today’s episode, it has come full circle as I am very appreciative to welcome my next guest from Switzerland, Vanessa Gentile.
Vanessa is half Brazilian and half Italian. She grew up in the canton Thurgau until she was 21 years old and then she moved to Zurich to pursuit her career in the Tech Industry.
Vanessa speaks 6 languages fluently and is the Head of Marketing at Salesforce in Switzerland.
Vanessa’s previous role was the Director Alliance & Channel at Salesforce in Switzerland. She was responsible for the Salesforce Partners Eco-System focusing on Partners capabilities and capacity according to the market growth and need.
