Marc Benioff is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Founder and CEO of Salesforce (1999), the company that made software a service and San Francisco a cloud capital.
Of Jewish heritage — his great-grandfather emigrated from Kyiv, his grandfather Marvin Lewis was a San Francisco supervisor — Marc Benioff left an Oracle vice presidency to found Salesforce in 1999 on a simple heresy: software should be rented in the browser, not installed in the basement. 'Software as a service' became the way the world's businesses run. His 1-1-1 model — 1% of equity, product and employee time to philanthropy — was adopted across the industry, and San Francisco's children's hospitals bear his family's name.
