CEO of Hearsay Social

Shih has gone from being the head of a prestigious organization to a board of director at Starbucks. Shih is now ranked among the world’s top experts on how firms can steer into the world of profiles and tweets in a short period of time. She got the brilliant idea of making Faceconnector, while working at Salesforce.com. Faceconnector can pull personal details from Facebook profiles into the Salesforce software. This way sales representatives can learn about the favorite items and other interests of future customers. This led to the birth of Chatter – a messaging service for businesses. This shot Shih to fame as she started being recognized as a social media expert. Hearsay’s famous clients include – LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter and Facebook.
