Snowflake’s Global Channel Chief Departs; Kodl Appointed Interim

'I have tremendous pride in how we have transformed, how we have performed and the impact that we have had,' says Snowflake’s former global channel chief, Tyler Prince.

Snowflake’s global channel chief, Tyler Prince, has left the data cloud company after two years of leading its worldwide channel and alliances business.

“After two exciting years, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave Snowflake,” said Prince, global leader of alliances and channels at Snowflake, on LinkedIn.

“I have tremendous pride in how we have transformed, how we have performed and the impact that we have had,” Prince said. “The Snowflake Partner Network is stronger than ever with 10,000+ partners globally.”

Prince was responsible for scaling the global partner business across Snowflake’s ecosystem of consulting partners, systems integrators, ISVs, resellers and cloud providers.

Since he joined Snowflake in June 2023, the San Mateo, Calif.-based company has added more than 2,300 partners to its program as of early 2025.

Snowflake Appoints Amy Kodl As Interim Channel Chief

Amy Kodl has been appointed Interim, Alliances & Channels Leader at Snowflake, tasked to lead the channel program in the interim.

She is a longtime Salesforce partner executive who joined Snowflake in late 2023 as Head of Global System Integrators (GSIs) and American Alliances.

Kodl brings more than 15 years of alliances experience and has played a key role in the development of Snowflake’s partner ecosystem over the last year.

Kodl told CRN in an email that Snowflake's partner ecosystem is "stronger than ever."

"Tyler’s leadership and vision have set the program on the right course, and I look forward to continuing to support our partners as we work together to deliver game-changing AI solutions for our customers," said Kodl. "We thank Tyler for his service to Snowflake and our partners as we expand on our shared vision to make AI easy, connected, and trusted."

Prince was named to CRN’s list of The 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs of 2025.

Prior to Snowflake, he was channel chief at Salesforce as executive vice president of global alliances.

Prince’s LinkedIn post announcing his departure has nearly 100 comments from many channel partners, Snowflake and Salesforce executives.

“Thank you Tyler for building an incredible partner ecosystem,” said Rajesh Pawar, CEO of Snowflake partner Kasmo, on LinkedIn. “We cherish all your support and good luck with your next endeavor.”

“It’s been a pleasure working with you and witnessing the Snowflake ecosystem thrive under your leadership,” said Hasan Mirza, cloud technology alliances leader for Dataiku, on LinkedIn. “Thank you for your partnership and for working closely with us at Dataiku—your support has made a real impact.”

Prince could not be reached for comment by press time.

Prince’s Next Job To Be Unveiled Soon

Prince did not shed light on where he would land next but said he will provide an update “on my next career chapter” in the coming weeks.

“The path forward is bright,” Prince said.

“With this talented team, a thriving ecosystem and the support from [CEO] Sridhar Ramaswamy and [CRO] Michael Gannon, I have no doubt that Snowflake and its partner ecosystem will continue to innovate, grow, and enjoy remarkable success,” he said.

Before Snowflake and Salesforce, Prince worked as PwC’s global Oracle practice leader. Prior to PwC, he held various management positions at Oracle, PeopleSoft, IBM and Andersen Consulting.

On the executive hiring front, Snowflake recently hired Gannon as its new CRO. Gannon joined Snowflake from VMware by Broadcom where he served as president of Americas ales.
