Snowflake (SNOW) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) is a leading provider of cloud-based data warehousing and analytics solutions. The company’s platform enables organizations to consolidate disparate data sources—such as structured and semi-structured data—into a single, scalable repository. Snowflake’s architecture separates compute from storage, allowing users to scale resources independently and pay only for the capacity they consume. This flexibility has positioned Snowflake as a key enabler for enterprises pursuing digital transformation and real-time analytics initiatives.

Founded in 2012 by Benoit Dageville, Thierry Cruanes and Marcin Żukowski, Snowflake was built to address the limitations of traditional on-premises data warehouses. The company launched its service on Amazon Web Services in 2014, later expanding compatibility to Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Snowflake’s multi-cloud approach allows customers to leverage the capabilities of their preferred cloud providers while maintaining a consistent user experience and governance model across regions.

Snowflake’s product suite includes data sharing, data engineering, data science and data application development tools, along with native support for machine learning and data marketplace integrations. Customers span industries such as financial services, healthcare, retail and technology, and the platform serves users in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other global markets. By offering built-in security features—such as end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls—Snowflake ensures data privacy and compliance with regional regulations.

Since April 2019, Snowflake has been led by President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Slootman, who previously served in leadership roles at ServiceNow and Data Domain. Under Slootman’s guidance, the company completed its initial public offering in September 2020 and has continued to expand its global footprint and partner ecosystem. Snowflake’s executive team also includes key figures in finance, product development and cloud engineering, all focused on driving innovation in data management and analytics.
