Please join the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism as it hosts information technology visionary Marc Benioff, chief executive of salesforce.com, in conversation with Andreas Kluth of The Economist.

Benioff, a former Oracle executive, started salesforce.com in 1999 as a revolutionary way to help businesses manage customer and sales data via the Web. It has since grown into a $176 million public company, and Fortune magazine ranked Benioff as the 10th richest American under 40 years old.

Kluth currently covers technology and other stories from the San Francisco Bay Area for The Economist. He has also worked in Hong Kong and London covering business and finance. He is a Bloomberg Lecturer at the journalism school who co-teaches the Bloomberg Business Reporting course.
