Dec 8 Cloudforce Japan

As many of you know I work for Salesforce.com. This week we had our conference Cloudforce Japan in Tokyo. We had the pleasure of two very special guests; Former Secretary of State for the US General Colin Powell and President and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation Akio Toyoda join us. I had the privilege of meeting General Powell the evening before.

I quickly become the go to photographer and snapped some shots for co-workers. Here is my co-worker Joe Poch speaking with General Powell along with the CEO of Yelp Jeremy Stoppelman.
