Sarah Joyce Franklin recently stepped into the role of CEO at Lattice. During her 16-year tenure at Salesforce, Sarah served as the President, CMO, and Chairwoman Advisory.
Sarah is also a runner, space enthusiast, snowboarder, and mom. Her professional success speaks for itself, but what stands out to me — and is not necessarily the norm for tech executives — Sarah has a lot of fun at her job.
During our podcast conversation, we talked about her journey from individual contributor to executive and the lessons she learned along the way.
She shares:
- How to make decisions from a place of confidence, not fear
- The story of her midnight memo to CEO Marc Benioff
- How she approaches motherhood with such a demanding job
- Her advice for aspiring leaders in tech
