Frank Slootman

Frank Slootman is the CEO who led Snowflake ($SNOW) to what Forbes’ Alex Konrad calls software’s biggest-ever IPO, in a profile that casts him as a “CEO-for-hire” brought in late and paid in equity (“How many shares do I get?”). Saved posts treat him as an operating-philosophy reference for Company Building: Ed Sim recommends a podcast with him for “healthy paranoia, value of intellectual honesty + not using same playbook,” and Eric Glyman of Ramp lists him with Bill Walsh and John Wooden as reading on a CEO’s job being like a coach’s.
