Australian Salesforce partner AFDigital appointed to partner advisory board

Australian Salesforce partner AFDigital has been appointed to the SaaS giant’s marketing cloud partner advisory board.

“I feel great, it’s really cool,” AFDigital co-founder Robin Leonard told CRN, adding that he sees the company’s selection as an endorsement of the skills it possesses and success working with brands including QANTAS and Fonterra.

“It’s definitely recognition that we are doing something right” Leonard said.

The co-founder said he expects to sit alongside global system integrators such as Accenture, IBM and Deloitte, and offer the voice of a smaller partner (AFDigital has around 50 staff).

He’s therefore looking forward to the twice-yearly board meetings in the USA, and feels membership will be very good for business because it will afford a better view of how Salesforce is evolving.
