Summary: Joining me today is a guy who has built three phenomenal companies. Two of them have sold. This guest is so big I don’t even know why he’s on Mixergy to be honest. Godard Abel is the co-founder & CEO of G2 Crowd and prior founder/CEO BigMachines (now Oracle) and CEO SteelBrick (now Salesforce). His latest company is one I use personally to check up on interviewees. I invited him here to find out how he built these companies, two of which led to a combined $700M in acquisitions. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/bigmachines-with-godard-abel/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/bigmachines-with-godard-abel/?get-twitter-card=true&" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Godard Abel is the co-founder & CEO of G2 Crowd and prior founder/CEO BigMachines (now Oracle) and CEO SteelBrick (now Salesforce).</p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p><a href="http://www.toptal.com/mixergy" rel="nofollow">Toptal</a> – If you’re having trouble finding developers, Toptal is a network of elite pre-vetted software developers.
