Paul Risk

Large organizations often face massive complexity when transitioning from legacy systems to cloud-based platforms. In this talk, Paul Risk shares lessons learned from overseeing multi-million-dollar Salesforce transformation programs across the insurance, automotive, and financial services sectors. Drawing from his experience as CTO at The Warranty Group and consulting engagements at Accenture and Cloudway Partners, he outlines how to lead enterprise-scale migrations with confidence.

This session explores key phases of transformation—from strategic visioning and business case development to technology architecture, data migration, and global deployment. You’ll gain insight into managing the cultural shift, building internal champions, and preparing your organization to adopt new ways of working. Paul shares practical frameworks for reducing risk, maximizing user adoption, and accelerating time to value, even across multi-national operations and heavily regulated industries.

Attendees will leave with a blueprint to drive large-scale Salesforce transformations, avoid common pitfalls, and build lasting capabilities. This session is ideal for CIOs, CTOs, transformation leaders, and business sponsors who want to modernize their technology stack, unify customer experiences, and turn IT from a cost center into a growth enabler.
