Casey Coleman
SVP of Global Government Solutions, Salesforce
Before Casey Coleman joined Salesforce in 2017, she was blazing trails for modernizing federal technology in both the public and private sector, including a stint as CIO at the General Services Administration. Coleman now leads Salesforce’s government business around the world. In getting to this point, she emphasized advice a former boss at GSA gave her: “Think about and anticipate what is around the corner. … If you can get in the habit of thinking in terms of scenarios, you know, what’s the second-order effect, those developments that are just around the corner? You can’t anticipate the future with any degree of perfection, but you can start to think in terms of scenarios and consequences and be a little better prepared and a little more forward-leaning and ready to meet the future.”
