Session
FIRESIDE CHAT
SPEAKER
Day 1 · Wednesday, September 2, 2026
1:10 pm - 1:40 pm ET
Building the Agentic Sales Organization
Kris Billmaier, EVP & GM of Agentforce Sales at Salesforce, once corrected an interviewer's guess that reps waste 30-40% of their time on non-selling work – the real number, he said, is 60%. In this fireside chat, Kris joins Gerhard Gschwandtner to unpack what happens when that time comes back: agentified pipelines, headless CRM, and reps freed to do what only humans can. From his path as a Notre Dame team captain to leading Salesforce's largest cloud, Kris shares candid, personal insight into where AI ends and human judgment begins — and what the sales director role looks like five years from now.
