Salesforce Appoints Savinay Berry as EVP and GM of Data Management

Salesforce has announced the appointment of Savinay Berry as EVP and General Manager of Data Management, placing him in charge of the Informatica business that Salesforce acquired and is now rebuilding as a data foundation for its Agentforce agentic AI platform.

Berry arrived just 72 hours before Informatica World, Salesforce's flagship data management conference, where Rahul Auradkar, President and GM of Data Foundation at Salesforce, introduced him publicly on stage.

Berry joins from OpenText, where he served as EVP and Chief Product Officer from January 2025. Before OpenText, he led Products and Engineering at Vonage, an Ericsson company, covering cloud applications, developer platforms, AI, and security.

"Software and applications will change in a few years in ways we can't fully imagine right now," Berry said in a LinkedIn post announcing the appointment. "But two things feel certain. There will always be a need for an AI infrastructure layer, and there will always be a need for the data layer. AI ready data will drive practical, positive change in the world, at scale."
