Why this is better

Two corrections: Veeva's FY2017 revenue was approximately $544 million, not $1 billion (which it did not reach until roughly FY2020); and only Gassner came from Salesforce, while Wallach's background was healthcare/pharma CRM, not Salesforce. Verified the live article body already reflects both corrected figures. The faq field does not mention Veeva, Gassner, or Wallach at all, so no secondary fix was needed there.
