About Geraldine Gray

Geraldine Gray is the founder and CEO of Endiem, a long-established and well-trusted scale and profit Salesforce partner. She is a 13x Salesforce MVP (Most Valuable Player) and is now a Salesforce Hall of Fame member.

She founded the Salesforce Girly Geeks in 2010 before she knew it was “cool to be a woman in tech” because she wanted some people to hang out with at Dreamforce. The group grew from 25 women at the first happy hour in a bar in San Francisco to 80 women at the second meet-up in 2011, 400+ women the following year, and so on. After five years and while pregnant with twins, she handed the program to Salesforce, which became Salesforce Women in Tech, with thousands of members and over 100 local groups.

In 2023, Geraldine battled breast cancer. The team did brilliantly without her, and she is back in the office leading the team. Towards the end of the year, she led Endiem as a partner to participate in the Salesforce Impact Accelerate Program, a game-changing 12-week program designed to help partners from small businesses and underrepresented groups thrive in the Salesforce ecosystem.

She is originally a Brit but has lived in Houston, Texas, for over twenty years. This is not her first rodeo.
