Snowflake Inc. is an American cloud-based data platform company headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Founded in San Mateo, California, the company provides a platform for data analysis, data warehousing, and artificial intelligence solutions with minimal latency across major cloud infrastructure providers, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

The company’s platform allows organizations to centralize, analyze, and manage multi-cloud data environments. Sridhar Ramaswamy has served as chief executive officer since February 2024, following Snowflake’s acquisition of his privacy-focused search engine startup, Neeva.

Snowflake’s platform hosted environment was the subject of a major cybersecurity incident in 2024 involving unauthorized access to customer cloud storage environments, affecting high-profile enterprise clients. Third-party cloud service instances integrated with Snowflake’s platform have also been cited by security analysts and threat actors in connection with data exposure incidents involving retail and corporate customer credentials.
