Former Heroku CEO Byron Sebastian, who became Salesforce.com’s EVP of platforms when the SaaS pioneer acquired the Platform-as-a-Service for $212 million in December of 2010, left Salesforce last month.
According to his LinkedIn page, he’s off farming olives somewhere in the San Francisco area. How utterly sensible.
GigaOm, which discovered his departure and is looking to intrude on his pastoral reverie, says he was “key to Heroku’s fast growth.” It says the now-polyglot Heroku hit a “1.5 million apps-hosted plateau” in May.
Sebastian came out of SourceLabs and BEA.
