Interview with a person who, in the past, worked closely with $Snowflake(SNOW.US)$ 's new CEO, Sridhar Ramaswamy, on what the new CEO is like and what it could mean for $SNOW:

- In his view, when Ramaswamy was at $Alphabet-A(GOOGL.US)$ , he was the number three guy and a potential CEO candidate, along with people like Sundar, who eventually became the CEO.

- According to him, $SNOW's new CEO is a database guy with a strong technological perspective. He sold Neeva to $SNOW because he wanted stability and the reach to bring the tech that they were building more effectively to customers.

- When $SNOW acquired Neeva, 90-95% of the engineering team at Neeva stayed. In his view, the Neeva team is basically the AI team at $SNOW.

- From his experience, Ramaswamy is a guy who will climb mountains to do whatever it takes to get things done. He has the highest capacity of external output of anyone he has ever met. He also hires fast and fires fast, so he knows how to hold people accountable.

- The expert believes that $SNOW needs a technology leader right now and that Sridhar is a great fit.
