"One of my firm beliefs in life is that you need to focus on the things that you are going to have an impact on. There are many things that, let's face it, we are simply not going to have any impact on. Obsessing about unchangeable things in the short term is the recipe for being uncertain about life."
"Businesses will react, and we will have to worry. For example, if the stock market keeps going down, or if the business climate gets worse, it'll have an impact on Snowflake, but so far, it's been heads down, get great product work done, get great customer deployments done."
"Sridhar Ramaswamy took over in the heat of the turmoil and helped steady the ship, in part by betting big on AI... insights behind high profile partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic."
"Ramaswamy calls Snowflake the most consequential AI-data company in the world, emphasizing the significance of the company's strategy and innovations in the current technological landscape."
