Arnaud Chiffert Takes the Helm at Snowflake France

Snowflake strengthens its French leadership with the appointment of Arnaud Chiffert as Country Manager.

Having joined Snowflake in 2022, where he successively held the roles of Director of Retail, CPG & Luxury Sales, and later Sales Director Global & Strategic Accounts, Arnaud Chiffert brings a career deeply rooted in selling cloud solutions, data and CRM.

A profile tailored for strategic accounts

Before joining Snowflake, the 46-year-old Neoma Business School graduate led the French arm of Splunk as Regional Sales Director, with responsibility for growing the business around security and data analytics solutions. He also spent several years at Salesforce, first as Strategic Account Manager, then as Global Account Manager for the LVMH group, an experience that helped him build a deep understanding of major accounts and the challenges of large‑scale transformation in the retail and luxury sectors.

Growth, partnerships and AI on the agenda

In his new role, Arnaud Chiffert will oversee Snowflake’s overall strategy and operations in France. His roadmap rests on three pillars: strengthening client and partner relationships, accelerating sustainable growth, and expanding the company’s footprint in the key sectors of the French market. He will also ensure alignment between local actions and Snowflake’s objectives for the EMEA region and, globally, for the organization.

“My priority is to work closely with our clients and partners to help them transform their data into tangible business impact, whether it’s driving innovation, improving decision‑making or accelerating their AI ambitions,” said the new Country Manager upon taking up the post.
