Strong rumors that Salesforce is now positioning itself for a take over of Five9. Contact Center
Five9 and Salesforce Announce a Unified CCaaS-CRM Offering.
There have also been strong rumors of Cisco wanting to acquire them. Either way the writing is on the wall.
Tuckness is an inexperienced sales leader who has his BFF Biers, and his bro on his team rising too fast in the ranks, all Burkland related. Only experience is Five9! Not the leadership needed for public company turn around. When will they bring in sales leadership that knows what they are doing and has the depth of experience to back it up.
LOL at Salesforce if they buy this garbage!
Save your money. You can develop the entire product range in a month by yourselves, and much better, too.
Salesforce spending 8 billion for Informatica kinda puts this rumor to bed, right?
The Burklands, Dignans, Tucknesses got all their buddies and family in the right spots to ensure they get paid when this company gets sold so it makes sense they go the VC route.
Stop. This is just marketing bullsh-t to promote existing products.
just googled, let’s say thomabravo rumours are true - there’s horror stories all over Reddit where they come in and gut workforces, those who remain are left in a keep the lights on mode.
Sincerely hope the thomabravo rumour in this thread isn’t true, because if it is Five9 as we know it will be finished
What would a vc bring?

Honestly those rumors have been around forever. Salesforce wants more things in Salesforce so they encourage companies to pursue offerings like that. They are also very 1 sided investments meaning Five9 had to pony up for that, not Salesforce.
The real rumor is selling to VC. ThomaMora to be specific. Their is joint interest there as these execs we have are starting to realize they need to exit fast due to their nepotism and mismanagement getting out of hand.
