With a long and successful track record in leading some of the most well-known organizations in the data industry, Cook is uniquely qualified to drive innovation and growth, leveraging the company's deep expertise in modern data and analytics design and implementation strategies.
"As I learned more about the team and customer use cases at DAS42, I jumped at the chance to take the CEO role. Data is the key enabler for enterprise AI initiatives, and DAS42 is well-positioned to leverage its unique full-stack approach to support customers on this journey. I am also a big believer that Snowflake will be one of the most significant players in modern data architectures going forward so this partnership makes perfect sense," said Cook. "Innovation and technology in data and AI is changing so rapidly that businesses require partners they can trust to have deep knowledge and a strong opinion about the future. Our people are so incredibly skilled and they have the conviction to do what's right for our customers for the long-term. I am honored and beyond excited for the opportunity to lead this team and work with businesses and executives who understand data is foundational for better decisions and outcomes."
