Sales Manager

Upon joining the Salesforce.org Education Cloud team as an associate product manager (APM), I’ve had the invaluable opportunity to collaborate with and learn from individuals with a history of innovation in the education sector and decades of expertise in building technologies for social good. 

Our team at Education Cloud builds innovative solutions that drive success for students, faculty, staff, and educational institutions at scale. One of the greatest highlights during my time on the Education Cloud team was the opportunity to co-host our most anticipated event this spring: the inaugural student Conversation Design Chatbot Competition for Education. 

This competition was the first in a series of initiatives for higher education students to build innovative and impactful solutions using Salesforce technology, while also enabling Salesforce.org to invest in higher ed student learning and promote opportunities for traditionally underrepresented groups in tech. 

This past year, drastic changes to the education and workforce landscape have created more demand for upskilling and enabled a wider reach for executive education. Most programs are now focused on establishing relevant starting points for professional learners, gaining new operational efficiencies, and delivering exceptional experiences so that learners continually return.

The mass vaccination effort taking place across the United States isn’t only integral to saving lives, it’s essential for resuming pre-COVID life: hugging family members, attending sporting events, returning to the office or in-person classes. As states across the country work to make vaccinations as accessible as possible for everyone, special attention must be paid to those who are homebound and unable to visit vaccination sites.

That’s what my team at Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) has been focused on in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts since the pandemic began. As an integrated care system, we serve individuals with significant medical, behavioral health, and social needs. With more than 42,000 members, CCA focuses on the state’s highest-cost, and highest-need individuals — most of whom are at an elevated risk of complications from COVID-19.

We are told from a young age to eat our fruits and vegetables, yet poor diet is the leading cause of death in the United States. Over $500 billion a year is spent in the U.S. treating chronic diseases, many of which are mostly preventable by diet and moderate exercise.
