AppExchange and the Salesforce Ecosystem

Gender-diverse organizations are 21% more likely to experience above-average profitability than their less-diverse peers, according to Mckinsey: Delivering Through Diversity. In addition, Catalyst and McKinsey each studied how gender diversity at senior levels impacts the financial performance of major organizations. In essence, women board directors and women in senior leadership are connected with better financial performance.

AppExchange is working to build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive partner ecosystem that reflects the communities in which we live and do business. As part of our vision, we introduced pages to honor and promote diverse partners in the Salesforce ecosystem, starting with Black-owned businesses. And today, we’re proud to launch Women-Owned and Founded Businesses on AppExchange.

The Women-Owned and Founded Businesses on AppExchange include North American app builders (ISVs) and consultants, giving you ways to invest in underrepresented communities, and support gender equality and justice. Hear from some of the women-owned and founded businesses at this recent LinkedIn Live session, celebrating Women’s History Month.

Because these women-owned and founded businesses have built many apps and consultancies, we created categories based on their technology or area of expertise. Let’s come together to celebrate and support these companies.
