“Neo4j is a Silicon Valley company with a Swedish soul,” said Eifrem. “Denise is an amazing addition to our Board, with the right balance of Silicon Valley go-to-market expertise, grounded in an appreciation of Neo4j’s Swedish roots and culture. She shares our belief in the disruptive power of a relationship-first approach to data, and has been instrumental in Snowflake redefining how corporations work with data warehouses. As demand for Neo4j grows, I look forward to working with Denise and the rest of our Board to expand our operations and finesse our execution.”

Denise Persson, CMO at Snowflake Computing and Neo4j independent board member, has always had a passion for data.

Neo4j is a Swedish success story, and I’m both very proud and excited to be a part of its journey, and to support it as graph databases break into the mainstream.”
