Salesforce, which once tried to buy LinkedIn, hires an exec from the Microsoft-owned company to run Sales Cloud
Summary
The move shows Salesforce tapping a person who has enjoyed a privileged view of social media-powered selling to lead Sales Cloud, the companys biggest product and the leader of the customer relationship management market. Camplejohn arrived at LinkedIn in 2015, when it bought Fliptop, a predictive sales and marketing start-up where he was co-founder and CEO. Camplejohn takes over from Adam Blitzer, who had been interim general manager of Sales Cloud at Salesforce since September. Camplejohn, who in 2009 sold start-up Mi5 Networks to Symantec for $18 million, didnt immediately respond to a request for comment. Lindsey Edwards, a senior director of product management at LinkedIn, has taken over as head of product for the Sales Solutions group that includes Sales Navigator following Camplejohns departure, a LinkedIn spokesperson told CNBC in an email on Wednesday.
