Thinking about relocating to take advantage of new opportunities in Salesforce? Then this episode is for you!

Johann Furmann shares an insight into the German market, from opportunities to barriers and Kiran B discusses his relocation to Germany from India.

We are super excited to introduce our special guest and friend of Maurizio, Gabriel Venancio. Gabriel has over 7 years of experience in Salesforce focussed in cloud, and currently 8 certifications behind him.

Starting his journey unemployed, Gabriel stumbled across the world of Salesforce in Brazil by a chance opportunity. Since then, he has had a whirlwind of a career in Salesforce, moving to Ireland and now working and living in Germany.

In this episode, we delve into how his journey has taken him from Brazil to Ireland and now Germany, speaking about the challenges and opportunities Gabriel has faced working in Germany as a non-german speaker and why it's the place to be for a Salesforce career.

Our first ever guest on the podcast is an absolute legend in the Salesforce space... yes, its Salesforce MVP and Dreamforce Speaker, Anup Jadhav -  Senior Program Architect at Salesforce!

With over 16 years' experience in leading technology strategy, there's a lot to be learnt and inspired by Anup's career journey. 

We talk to Anup about his incredible journey in Salesforce, taking it back to where it all started, how he became to specialise in insurance, what it took to get to where he is today and his top dos and don'ts for those who want to pursue a successful career in the Salesforce ecosystem. 

On our first-ever episode of Careers in the Cloud, we thought what better way of starting the Podcast off with a career story from our very own co-hosts, better known as our Salesforce team at MA.

Joined by our CEO, David Thuillier, we hear how the Salesforce team's journey has led them to become currently one of the most successful recruitment teams in MA, all during a global pandemic. What's their secret sauce to their success with clients and candidates across the globe? And what's the vision for the team moving forward?
