On August 20, 2007, salesforce.com, inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the planned transition of Steve Cakebread, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, to President and Chief Strategy Officer in the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2009 (February-April 2008). Graham V. Smith will be joining the Company as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Designate in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter. Mr. Cakebread will continue in his current role as CFO until Mr. Smith assumes CFO duties in the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2009.

Mr. Smith is the current Chief Financial Officer of Advent Software, one of the leading providers of software and services to the investment management industry. Prior to Advent, Smith was CFO of Vitria Technology, an enterprise application integration software company. Prior to Vitria, Smith served four years as CFO for Nuance Communications, a voice-recognition software company, where he led the company through both private and public financings. Earlier in his career, Smith spent eleven years at Oracle Corporation in a variety of senior finance roles, most recently as Vice President of Finance for worldwide operations, reporting to Oracle’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Smith holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and politics from Bristol University in England and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
