Frank Slootman is a Board of Directors Snowflake. Colleagues describe him as "Frank is one of a kind...It takes a special person to really LEAD a company. Frank is that one of a kind leader who gives clear direction and expects high performance...He expects the best and rewards the best! Lastly, I love the fact that Frank spent most of his time in front of customers, partners and the sales team. He didn't manage from behind the desk and he didn't speak through interpretors! I would work for Frank anytime, anyplace.", "Frank was in charge of all products at Borland as VP of Engineering when my company was acquired. Frank was singular in his ability to articulate a compelling roadmap that the entire company could rally around. Frank has that Andy Grove paranoia about both outside competitors and internal complacency. He has the vision and confidence to act boldly -- yet also the humility and sense of proportion to collaborate with those around him.", and "Frank was an unbelievably great coach, mentor and leader during a very exciting growth period for Borland. Frank's excellent leadership of all aspects of Borland's product portfolio was directly responsible for the number one position in the Java market. By delivering a strategy and execution plan for ALM, Frank was able to move Borland to a higher value proposition, market position and ever increasing revenues. Tough minded with precise thought, I learned greatly from Frank during our 3 years together."
