23-Year Salesforce Consulting Veteran and Coastal Cloud Board Member Eric Berridge Appointed to CEO

Palm Coast, FL, September 7, 2023 – Coastal Cloud, a top-ranked Salesforce consulting partner with multi-cloud expertise across industries, has announced that Eric Berridge, a 23-year veteran of the Salesforce Partner ecosystem, and a member of Coastal Cloud’s board of directors, has been appointed as CEO. Tim Hale, Co-founder of Coastal Cloud, is transitioning to Executive Vice Chairman of the board. Co-founder Sara Hale will remain President of Coastal Cloud.

Eric has decades of experience in the Salesforce Partner ecosystem. He is the co-founder and former CEO of Bluewolf, an IBM company (acquired 2016), that he built over two decades as the original and preeminent consultancy for Salesforce solutions. Most recently, Eric helped lead Professional Services at Salesforce as the Chief Commercial Officer.

“Having been a member of Coastal Cloud’s board of directors since 2020, I have seen up close the unwavering dedication that this organization has shown to its customers and their success. I couldn’t be more excited to deepen our commitment to that mission,” says Eric Berridge, CEO of Coastal Cloud. “Tim, Sara, and our entire team have built an incredible foundation over the past 11 years, and I look forward to building on that foundation by growing our relationships with our customers, expanding the impact of technology to drive business results, and investing in helping customers actualize innovation, including using Salesforce as the #1 AI CRM.”

Founded in 2012 as a family-owned business, Coastal Cloud is an award-winning Salesforce Partner with multi-cloud expertise, providing consulting, implementation, and managed services support for organizations looking to generate maximum value from Salesforce. The company has worked with more than 1,300 organizations, and deployed more than 6,100 projects. With a team of over 600 experts holding more than 1,700 Salesforce certifications, Coastal Cloud offers insight and expertise to a wide variety of industries, including healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, non-profit, public sector, private equity and more.

“Sara and I are thrilled that Eric is joining Coastal Cloud full-time to lead our next phase of growth,” says Tim Hale, Co-founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Coastal Cloud. “Eric is a esteemed leader in the Salesforce Partner ecosystem, and his 20 years of industry expertise, deep relationships with Salesforce executives, and obsession for the customer experience will elevate Coastal Cloud’s position in the years to come.”

Coastal Cloud has won a Global Partner Innovation Award from Salesforce from 2020-2022. The company was also designated a “Leader” in multiple quadrants in the ISG Provider Lens™ Salesforce Ecosystem Partners 2023 Quadrant Report for the United States.

The company’s relentless focus on client outcomes aligns perfectly with the values of their new CEO, whose profound commitment to customers is evident in his authored work, “Customer Obsessed”, a book that continues to serve as an educational resource for entrepreneurs aspiring to cultivate customer-centric enterprises.

For Tim Hale, an eventual transition away from day-to-day operations was always planned, and he will still be in the Palm Coast office most days. Tim says: “When Sara and I started Coastal Cloud in 2012, our children were in elementary school, and we always knew that once we became ‘empty nesters’, we would want more flexibility in our lives. Now that our youngest has gone off to college, we’re excited for this next chapter. In my role as Executive Vice Chairman, I look forward to spending focused time on avenues of expanded expertise for Coastal Cloud, including Data Cloud and AI.”

Recognizing the importance of Salesforce Data Cloud for the future of the Salesforce Partner Ecosystem, Coastal Cloud also welcomed Brynna Evans, Salesforce’s SVP of Data Cloud GTM, as a board observer earlier this year. A five-year Salesforce veteran, she brings expertise in data and AI with Data Cloud, a fast growing platform within the Salesforce ecosystem.

“Data and AI have enormous potential to transform how companies interact with customers and drive business growth. Coastal Cloud is helping clients maximize the value of Salesforce, working with them to develop strategies that leverage AI and insights from Data Cloud to deliver actionable business outcomes,” says Brynna Evans, SVP of Data Cloud GTM at Salesforce.

Salesforce, Salesforce Partner Ecosystem, Data Cloud and others are among the trademarks of Salesforce, Inc.

Stream Companies Hits Sweet 16th Recognition on Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies List

West Chester, PA – August 31, 2023 – Stream Companies, announced today that the leading full-service, integrated, tech enabled advertising agency, has been named on the 2023 Inc. 5000 annual list of the fastest growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

This is the sixteenth year the advertising agency is recognized, an accomplishment only shared by ten companies nationally. With a proven record of 26 years of consecutive growth and three-year revenue growth of 120%, through the most challenging of markets for the advertising sector, Stream Companies has no intentions of slowing down.

“This accomplishment is a testament to the relentless dedication and creativity of our entire team, our commitment to true partnership with our clients, our collective focus on data and innovation, and our commitment to doing the ordinary extraordinarily well,” said David Regn, CEO of Stream Companies. “Our 16th win is certainly a significant milestone. To say that we are proud would be an understatement.”

While the last three years bore challenges for many agencies, Stream’s ability to pivot provided avenues to not only survive, but thrive. A recent yet significant factor in Stream Companies’ continued growth has been their investment into innovative first party data solutions and partnerships and early adoption of household-based media activation.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”

More about Inc. and the Inc. 5000 Methodology

Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
