” Snowflake’s Chief Executive Officer Frank Slootman Resigns: The Hatred of Wall Street
Apparently Frank Slootman, the veteran tech executive, was popular with investors, at least judging from their reaction that he will be stepping down as CEO of Snowflake.
The company stock price has plunged over 24% in after hours trading on the news.
Slootman came on board in 2019, taking over for veteran executive Bob Muglia, and was charged with taking the company public the following year.
In fact, Fortune reported that the chief executive was making an eye popping $95 million a month at one point.
Prior to coming to Snowflake, he spent six years as chairman and CEO at ServiceNow.
