Former British Telecom CEO Gavin Patterson will join Salesforce.com Inc. as chairman for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Sky News reported, citing sources.
Salesforce is expected to announce Patterson's appointment to the newly created role on Sept. 5.
Patterson was British Telecom's CEO until January after BT Chairman Jan du Plessis found "a need for a change of leadership."
Salesforce also recently appointed Jayne-Anne Gadhia as CEO of its Salesforce U.K. and Ireland operations.
