NEW: Slack co-founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield will leave parent company Salesforce next month, the company confirms to Axios. He'll be succeeded by longtime Salesforce cloud executive Lidiane Jones.
Butterfield led Slack from its start nearly a decade ago, as a spin-off from a game project that failed to gain traction.
The chat application gained adoption fast in a bottom-up fashion as small teams embraced it and persuaded their companies to use it. The company went public in 2019, but rising competition from Microsoft Teams and other rivals led Slack's leadership to steer it toward the 2021 acquisition by Salesforce.A Salesforce spokesperson said that Butterfield has been "an incredible leader... [who] helped lead the successful integration of Slack into Salesforce."
