UPEO
We are a Salesforce implementation Partner in Belgium.

UPEO was created only a year ago, but we pledged 1% of our time from the start.
We knew the concept, working in the Salesforce ecosystem for many years, but the company we worked for didn't translate their pledge to the floor, so we never got to participate. That's why it was important to do things right.
We are 10 people, so we immediately "translated" the theoretical 1% of our time and donated that to YouthStart, a Belgian non profit who helps young people kick-start their professional life. With no 1% time left, but lots of ambition, we gave another 5% of my personal time as a founder, to found a Salesforce training program together with an association called Girleek. This program is a 14-week training for unemployed women to become Salesforce Certified Admins. The first 18 graduates will certify next month, in December 😉
We are very proud to be able to give back to our ecosystem. It also teaches us loads, and the connections we make, the friendships along the way, make it even more worthwhile!
