He's also a super salesman who's built a Bay Area giant that employees love for being prosperous and good. Nobody's as good at salesmanship in the world of high tech as Marc Benioff, the nimble and gregarious 6-foot-5, 290-pound co-founder and CEO of Salesforce.com. A few months ago, his burgeoning company -- the San Francisco-based powerhouse in cloud computing for businesses -- was looking to buy Rypple, a startup in Toronto that specializes in human resources apps. The two companies had already had several rounds of discussions. In late October, the 47-year-old Benioff was in Manhattan to speak before the G100 conference of executives. So were Daniel Debow and David Stein, the 38-year-old co-founders of Rypple. The night before, Benioff took them to San Pietro, the Midtown Italian restaurant where he holds court every time he's in town: "Right over there is where I sent my favorite California Cabernet to King Abdullah of Jordan -- to say thank you for helping to build peace in the Middle East!" And the king was so impressed he sent his bodyguards back to the hotel "to bring me one of his famous beautiful watches!" Benioff has told the tale so many times at the restaurant that the waiters can recite it. He made sure that Stein, a wine buff, got the same bottle of Dalla Valle as the king.
