Why Snowflake's former revenue chief is joining a little-known AI infrastructure startup

Snowflake's former revenue chief Mike Gannon has joined Spectro Cloud, a $1 billion startup helping companies deploy AI.

Mike Gannon, formerly chief revenue officer at Snowflake, is joining AI infrastructure startup Spectro Cloud as its new chief revenue officer. Gannon made headlines during his one-year tenure at Snowflake after an interview with a TikTok influencer led to an SEC disclosure warning investors not to rely on his revenue projections.

Spectro Cloud, a $1 billion startup, develops software to help businesses securely set up and use AI, manage costs, and monitor agents. The company is on track for $100 million in annual recurring revenue this year, up from $100 million in ARR last year. Gannon will lead sales efforts as Spectro targets larger global customers, expanding its reach with offices in London and Washington, DC, and partnerships in the Middle East.

Notable customers include T-Mobile, Airbus, and the US Air Force, while Spectro also works with neocloud providers that rent AI compute to other businesses.
