This past Thursday, I had the opportunity to participate in Salesforce Live Addis Ababa, Salesforce’s debut event here in Ethiopia.
Being part of this landmark gathering felt like stepping into the future of tech, business, and possibility. Hosted at the Sheraton Addis under the theme "Empowering a New Era with Salesforce," the energy in the room was something you could genuinely feel.
As a proud 2x Salesforce Certified Administrator and a graduate of the ALX Salesforce programme, I’ve spent several months diving deep into CRM, data, and AI. Being in that space, surrounded by various industry leaders and representatives, and seeing these concepts brought to life through keynotes, hands-on demos, and real conversations was a full-circle moment for me. It was incredibly validating and deeply inspiring.
What truly stood out was spending time with my peers and fellow ALX Salesforce learners and graduates who also chose to do hard things, as we say at ALX. There was something powerful about standing together in that room, knowing how far we’ve come and how much more is ahead.
Back when I was taking the course, I remember hoping that one day companies here would recognize the power and potential of Salesforce and its ecosystem. Now, seeing these tools being implemented across major industries right here in Ethiopia is honestly amazing.
I’m so grateful to have been part of this experience and even more excited for what’s next.
If you’re interested in launching your career in tech and want to explore the Salesforce Administrator course at ALX, I’d be more than happy to share my experience. You can also learn more about the programme here:
