“Throughout this history of sales, there has always been (at best) a natural tension between sales and marketing, so it's rare when one finds a relationship like the one Southard enjoys with the sales teams he supports. Southard is whip-smart and is able to distill the market and competitive landscape down to it's base components and feed that information to sales in a way that's easy to digest and take action upon. More importantly (and EXTREMELY rare among marketers), Southard is as competitive as the most competitive sales person you'll even encounter. He wants to win and will put in the requisite effort to do so. He brings instant credibility to any executive meeting and is willing to travel to see anyone, anytime in support of sales. I count Southard among the absolute best professionals, in any capacity, with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. On top of that, he's been a great friend and confidant; always there to provide dispassionate, sober advice no matter the subject. ”

AI doesn’t break because of a lack of data. It breaks when meaning doesn’t travel with it. Great to see Qlik join the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) to help make semantic consistency portable across analytics and AI — so teams can move faster and trust the outcome.

When Sridhar Ramaswamy was asked mid-call about Snowflake’s aerospace footprint, he didn’t have the answer, but Snowflake’s new Snowflake Intelligence agent delivered it in seconds. That real-time pivot perfectly captures how the company has evolved beyond data warehousing into AI, apps (with Streamlit and Snowpark), and now observability with the acquisition of Observe.
