“Snowflake is one of the most significant new companies in Silicon Valley and we believe Frank is the right leader at this juncture to fully realize that potential,” said Mike Speiser, Director at Snowflake, “The best time to make a change is when things are going well.

About Frank Slootman
Between 2011 and 2017, Slootman was Chairman and CEO of ServiceNow – one of the world’s leading SaaS providers – taking it from under $100M in revenue, through a successful IPO, to $1.4B in revenue. Prior to that, Slootman was Chairman and CEO of Data Domain – a company he led from the very early stages, through to an IPO and ultimately to a $2.4B sale to EMC.
“Snowflake is a special company,” said Frank Slootman. “There is a lot of software running in the cloud but very little of it fully exploits its scale, performance, elasticity, and economics. Snowflake does, and it is poised to become the leading data platform of the cloud era.”
