The founding SVP of Strategy who drove Salesforce into healthcare; the alternative pathway when the Benioff pitch went sideways
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
Clarence So — Salesforce's founding-era SVP of Strategy who spearheaded its push into healthcare — entered Jonathan Hare's graph years before it mattered, at a party, because Hare was dating a woman who was close friends with Clarence's girlfriend. It mattered when Jack Lewin, pitching Marc Benioff on the Lōkahi healthcare initiative, led with 'automated prior authorization' instead of the architecture and got politely handed to the philanthropy team: the graph held alternative routes — through So directly, or through Greg Schott, MuleSoft's former CEO reporting to Benioff. The lesson the record draws: connectors don't need to pitch the physics; they need the record itself to do the explaining.
There is no single root. This is one view of the graph, from this node — what you see depends on where you enter and what you are looking for.
Everything above is a distillation. The primary source is published in full, so that any claim on this page can be walked back to what was actually said — and where the two differ, the source governs.
This entry is deliberately incomplete. The gaps below are the things only certain people can settle — and settling one is a contribution like any other: recorded, timestamped and attributed to whoever made it.
