In this episode of the CPQ Podcast, we welcome Don Khamapirad, CEO of Veloce Apps, to explore how modern CPQ solutions are evolving for complex industries like manufacturing, life sciences, business services, and fintech.

Don shares his journey from Oracle and Apttus/Conga to leading multiple startups through growth stages—and now driving Veloce’s transformation from a software provider to a full-service Salesforce Revenue Cloud implementation partner.

You’ll hear insights on:

• Why constraint-based configuration is key to solving large-scale quoting challenges

• How Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced supports multi-layer configurations and up to 100,000 quote lines

• Where AI fits into the CPQ process, especially in speeding up quote creation and improving customer response times

• How Veloce delivers CPQ success with 5–18 month projects, deep Salesforce alignment, and a focus on high user adoption

• The five major use cases Veloce solves, including SAP upgrades and complex pricing transformations

Don also shares a personal side—his love for archery with his daughter and his excitement about building industry connections at Dreamforce this October.

If you're navigating the shift to Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced, or tackling complex quoting problems, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.
