Founding Story
Benoit Dageville co-founded Snowflake in 2012. Recognizing that legacy on-premise databases were fundamentally incapable of handling the massive scale of the cloud, he helped design Snowflake's revolutionary architecture, which completely separated compute and storage. As President of Products, he ensured the platform remained perfectly cloud-agnostic, running across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Benoit Dageville was born in 1966.
