We are not just looking to attract the best possible talent to come and join Salesforce, were also heavily investing in our apprenticeship scheme,
doubling down on our graduate opportunities, and aiming to double the size of the team in the next six months, he noted.

This is our opportunity to reinvest in the next generation. Looking forward, Bahrololoumi was keen to promote the role of the UK in the AI-enabled and augmented future, noting that while the country was, an empowered market, there was still potential for more growth.

We need more talent, she added, I feel so confident, and weve got the
evidence and the proof points that this technology and our platform can work and automate jobs, and augment jobs, and expand human capacity in an organisation effectively.

But I would like to see more jobs being repatriated from offshore and
low-cost locations and jobs being created back in the UK - so I would like to see a stronger drive around automation and repatriation.

Bahrololoumi gave the example of when there 300 jobs in a low-cost location, outside of the UK - why can I not create a hundred jobs in the UK and still
do 300 plus worth of capacity?

Thats something were really focused on, because weve got the capability to do that now but I think we've got the opportunity now to create jobs in the UK, she concluded, we're on a mission.
