And it's like, why would you do that?

And he's right.

He's like, where I find joy is helping companies build.

And that's what we're doing is we're helping these companies build from sometimes nothing into these world-class organizations.

So if we can spike the football and say, we've helped a bunch of companies go public, that's what I want to help them do.

I'm going to stay silent on this one.

Other than Mike Spicer, who I owe my career at Snowflake to, that's why I'm going to stay silent.

Harry, it's great to see in person.

I don't think we've ever met in person.

So super pumped to meet in person and be here with my buddy here, Chad Peets.

Yeah, I think Chad and I have been talking about this for years.

And after I left Snowflake, I sit on a bunch of different boards.

And pretty much the number one pain point of any startup CEO is they need help building a sales team.

And I started to try to work with other recruiters, and never was I satisfied, because I was spoiled, because Chad co-built the Snowflake sales team with me, and I'm like, man, I'd love to figure out a way to get Chad involved, and that's how the conversation started.

Correct.

He nailed it.

in this age you're seeing a lot of product-led growth companies and there's a lot of order takers you know out there i think the thing that chad and i pretty consistently agree on is that if we can build outbound sales organizations sale-led growth engines and then you can pile in plg on top of it you you have best of both worlds so i think you know our perspective and i don't speak you know you know for you chad but our perspective is build great go-to-market people that we built at snowflake that he's built you know a thousand times over that will different

the company.
