About Benoit Dageville

Benoit Dageville is president of products at Snowflake, the cloud-based database company he cofounded with Thierry Cruanes in 2012.

The French-born computer science PhD got his start at Bull Information Systems before spending 16 years at Oracle in California's Bay Area.

Dageville and Cruanes, both architects at Oracle, teamed up on a startup to store a company's data in the cloud to make it more easily usable.

Snowflake went public in 2020 with a $3.9 billion offering, making it the largest software IPO in history.

The company has been registered in Bozeman, Montana since 2021, but has no official headquarters.
