Shares of Salesforce are up more than 50 percent year to date. Suarez-Davis says the marketing cloud generated about $1 Billion in revenue this year. He says the key to achieving this growth is customer centric solutions that enable marketers to deliver real-time brand experiences.

When looking at the crowded cloud computing space, Suarez-Davis says their unique position in the landscape as a fully integrated platform across marketing, service, commerce, and sales helps Salesforce stand apart.
