Back to All Stories

Our Salesforce LIVE team teamed up with the Economist for a compelling five-part series on the future of work — and the people who are doing tomorrow’s jobs today. Between transforming old jobs to creating entirely new jobs altogether, these individuals are at the forefront of a new frontier. And who better to engage these forward-thinkers than Peter Schwartz, SVP Strategic Planning at Salesforce and our own company futurist?

In this installment in the series, Schwartz interviews Ben Goldhaber, Director of Online Content for Twitch, the streaming platform for e-game enthusiasts.

“Last year we actually saw stadiums of 40,000 to 50,000 people filling up to watch e-sports events, and all of that is broadcasted live on Twitch,” said Goldhaber.
