Women-Owned Salesforce Partners & AppExchange Companies: A Running List

Andrea Tarrell

min. reading

This week is WITness Success 2019, the annual gathering of Salesforce Women in Tech. I’ve never been before, and I’m really excited to attend.

My friend Mel Fellay (the founder of Spekit) and I were thinking about organizing some kind of event for female founders, and it struck me that I don’t know very many female entrepreneurs in the Salesforce ecosystem. So I turned to Google – and started compiling a list of every woman-owned business related to Salesforce that I could find.

Salesforce has been an outstanding leader in encouraging diversity and equality among its employees, suppliers, and in the entire ecosystem. And encouraging other corporate citizens to do the same.

But even so, the list of women-owned Salesforce businesses isn’t super long. YET. If you’d like to see this list grow, check out the companion blog to this on the 8 Best Ways to Support Women-Owned Salesforce Businesses.

So, without further ado… here’s the list. It’s sorted by number of certified consultants and how long they’re been in business.
