When you are enthusiastic and receptive to feedback, excellent conversations occur.And according to @Chris Degnan, Chief Revenue Officer at @Snowflake Computing, conflict in the workplace can be constructive rather than destructive when it's delivered in a respectful, curious way.Imagine that!But you don't have to just imagine it—you can live in that world."The Humility Essential for Success: You're part of that rocket ship, but you're not the rocket ship," says Degnan.He stressed the importance of maintaining humility, regardless of position, which will create an open, feedback-friendly culture. And that's an environment that will cause people to stick around.Resources: Harvard Business Review

This week: the origins of data, and the future of the digital species. Our guest is business and tech leader Bob Muglia, a startup investor and advisor who played key roles in the emergence of Microsoft's database, server, and business software products, and served as the CEO of data warehouse company Snowflake Computing. He's the author, with Steve Hamm, of a new book called "The Datapreneurs: The Promise of AI and the Creators Building Our Future," published by Peakpoint Press. Muglia connects the dots between early data innovation and the emerging era of artificial intelligence; talks about lessons from one of his favorite authors, Isaac Asimov; compares Microsoft and IBM to Microsoft and OpenAI; explains why he's ultimately an optimist about technology and humanity; and tells the story of the data center he built in his house when he was a Microsoft executive. "We've gone from the verbal way of recording information ... to various forms of writing, to the printing press, to ultimately digital computers and the internet. And now data of every type is recording society in a way that essentially has a permanence attached to it. And these intelligent entities that we can create in the future will learn from all of this. ... It's a little scary, for sure, but it's pretty exciting."

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Investors and venture capital firms are adopting the Get Big Fast strategy for startups - to gain the first mover advantage. But what challenges do companies face when they expand too quickly? Are all unicorns headed for IPO? Cloud-based data warehouse firm Snowflake Computing joined the prestigious club last year, and its Chief Revenue Officer Chris Degnan shares his insights.
What does it take to be successful and have longevity as a a CTO in healthcare tech today? In Larry Heminger’s case it takes optimism. Larry is the CTO of Sapiens Data Science, a company committed to increasing people’s life span through healthcare tech breakthroughs. On today’s CTO Studio, we talk about how and why Larry joined the team at Sapiens, why he’s attracted to companies that are making a difference in people’s lives and what his Design for Success approach is all about. Join us for this illuminating discussion on today’s CTO Studio. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why doesn't he see himself retiring - ever? How many years does it take for a medical breakthrough to make it to family physicians? As CTO, how to make decisions that stand the test of scale What is his Design for Success methodology? What is the Snowflake Computing approach, and why did Larry choose them? And so much more! Larry is the CTO of Sapiens Data Science. Our very first topic is a dive into his journey of becoming their CTO. Larry tells us about his interesting ride; he had been working with ecoATM Gazelle for about 7.5 years and had been apart of their organization from their ealy start-up days. Larry experienced a full 360 degree business cycle with ecoATM, going public through acquisition and then back to being a private company again. The work they did (and still do today) was in the field of automated retail: recycling of cell phones. Even though the work was amazing, he felt it was time to look for something new and different after his 7+ years with them. He wanted to do work that was meaningful and of benefit to everyone. Using his experience with a previous healthcare start-up, Larry found a few new opportunities in San Diego that were health tech related. Sapiens specifically interested him because of their CEO, Brad Perkins. And Larry became even more enthusiastic after meeting with Brad, hearing of Brad’s passion and learning of their mission - Sapiens is in the business of adding more birthdays to people's lives. They help people live longer through the burgeoning fields of genomics and data science. Next I asked him to describe his mindset coming from ecoATM, a company that was retail-focused, and then going into the health tech space with Sapiens. Larry says there are many similarities and of course some differences. For him the key was and is feeling like he is doing something good. Like most of us, Larry spends so much time at work that he wants to feel like he's having an impact on people’s lives. For him it is not just about paycheck, it’s more the opportunity to help build a new, amazing company. He goes on to say he believes healthcare will look very different in 10 years. One area in particular is the speed at which information becomes available to physicians, he says this will be sped up exponentially. Instead of taking almost two decades for your family physician to find out about medical breakthroughs, it will happen much, much faster. Patients will also be empowered with their own data and information. My next question for him was where does Sapiens hit roadblocks with regulations and stereotypes? Those are definitely challenges they face as any healthcare company is going to be challenged with regulations, data privacy and security. Those aspects are all very important to the success of a healthcare company in tech and outside of tech. Larry explains the basic strategy, something he calls design for success which applies to start ups as well as larger companies. It goes like this: If you assume your company will be successful, and you draw out the architecture of your company with that success in mind, then what does your company look like a couple of years from now? If the business grows the way you think it will, then what compliance issues do you have to deal with? Those issues could include things like privacy, data security, FDA, etc. Every day his job as a CTO is to make decisions about things like that, to work with the development team and technology partners. In Sapiens’ case, they choose technology partners to satisfy both security and scale requirements. It doesn't always cost more, but it may require a bit more design time in terms of thinking it out when choosing architectures, cloud, databases, development languages and every other decision you make when you are building your tech stack. He asks himself questions like what does this look like three years from now? What does business success look like? What issues will we have? What security compliance do we need to satisfy? What sort of auditing will we need? He keeps those thoughts in mind as he is making decisions. In essence what he is saying is this: be optimistic, set aggressive goals, assume there will be scale and success, and don't limit yourself in the present. One of the promises he made to his CEO is to not do something quick and dirty, something he will have to throw away that will cost a million dollars to rebuild later on. Larry tells us he has experienced this firsthand, something he doesn’t want to go through again. We dig into this topic more including why this approach is about selecting technologies that can scale in terms of capacity and cost. We also talk about why he went with Snowflake Computing and how their approach differs from other data storage and warehouse providers. Hear those discussions plus his tips for managing near-shore resources and how their data modeling actually works on today's CTO Studio.
In this session, we learn how Instacart reimagined its catalog data processing pipeline to utilize Snowflake, the data warehouse built for the cloud. Instacart grew from a hand-entered catalog to one that processes billions of data points daily. Keeping pace with customer demand prompted Instacart to take an entirely new approach to addressing the unique challenges of grocery catalog curation. Through Snowflake's unique architecture, which separates compute from storage, Instacart has increased their ability to quickly scale while improving the accuracy, traceability, and quality of their reporting. In turn, better information leads to offering more customized grocery catalog options that delight their customers. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Snowflake Computing.
WHAT'S THE SNOWFLAKE ARCHITECTURAL DIFFERENCE? Meghann Chilcott is the host of FutureDose.Tech and interviews Todd Crosslin, the VP of Healthcare Strategy at Snowflake Computing. Snowflake's unique data warehouse architecture provides complete relational database support for both structured data, such as CSV files and tables, and semi-structured data, including JSON, Avro, Parquet, etc., all within a single, logically integrated solution. Snowflake is a data warehouse-as-a-service, which requires no management and features separate compute, storage, and cloud services that can scale and change independently. Metadata is also automatic. What's more, metadata processing within Snowflake does not compete with the compute resources running your queries. This means Snowflake can scale near-linearly as your compute resources scale out. Secure by design and compatible with popular ETL and BI tools, Snowflake enables data warehouse managers to support enterprise-wide data warehouse requirements with virtually unlimited concurrency. Snowflake is also a powerful query processing back-end platform for developers creating modern data-driven applications. https://www.snowflake.com/product/why-snowflake/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Until recently, the concept of Agile data warehousing was ludicrous. Even today there has been a lot of resistance and minimal exposure to Agile in that industry, despite the need for data warehousing processes to innovate, if only to improve their cycle time. But Kent Graziano of Snowflake Computing has seen a shift in the last two years thanks to the work his company has done to bring the Agile principles to traditional data warehousing. Most exciting are the new techniques in Agile data engineering and modeling, Snowflake's "cloud data warehousing as a service" and its dynamic sizing and cost to address real-world problems in real time. Agile data warehousing is possible today because of enabling technology like Snowflake's, which sees queries of petabytes of data daily. The question isn't so much about the technology anymore, but more about whether large organizations are ready for the cloud. This is Kent's second visit with Agile Amped. See his first appearance here: http://www.solutionsiq.com/resources/... SolutionsIQ's Leslie Morse hosts at Southern Fried Agile 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
