Snowflake named Sridhar Ramaswamy as chief executive officer as Frank Slootman disclosed plans to retire.

The cloud-data-warehousing-software provider said Ramaswamy, who previously served as senior vice president of AI, was also named to the board.

Slootman will continue to serve as chairman of the board, Snowflake said.

"There is no better person than Sridhar to lead Snowflake into this next phase of growth and deliver on the opportunity ahead in AI and machine learning," said Slootman.
