Operators Ep 18: Chris Degnan (Snowflake)

Chris Degnan is the Chief Revenue Officer at Snowflake. 
Chris was the first sales hire at Snowflake and has grown his
team to over 300 people. Prior to joining Snowflake, Chris worked
at Aveksa and Dell EMC for over nine years.  He is also on
the board at Clumio. 


In this episode we talk about the most difficult product he’s had
to sell in his career, his secret interview question and what
sold him on Snowflake. He also shares about his fear of failure,
how realizing he didn’t want his boss’ job prompted him to make a
big job change, and the importance of grit.


I hope you enjoy the show.
