The AtScale + Snowflake team.

Harsha Kapre

Head of Snowflake Ventures

Snowflake

Harsha leads Snowflake Ventures, the strategic investment arm of Snowflake. She spearheaded the February 2026 investment in AtScale — an on-the-record signal that open, governed semantics is the right architecture for enterprise analytics and AI on Snowflake. Harsha works directly with AtScale to accelerate joint go-to-market and deepen the Snowflake Native App partnership.

“This investment underscores Snowflake's commitment to enabling enterprises with a unified, governed foundation for data, analytics, and AI. As organizations continue to centralize data in Snowflake, partnering with AtScale helps our joint customers maintain consistent business logic and semantic definitions throughout their analytics and AI workflows, delivering performance and enhanced accuracy at scale.”

Chris Lynch

CEO & Executive Chairman

AtScale

Chris is the CEO of AtScale and the architect of the company's strategic partnership with Snowflake. He brings decades of enterprise software leadership to the mission of making governed semantics the standard for every enterprise data and AI stack. Under his leadership, AtScale secured Snowflake Ventures' investment and shipped the Embedded AtScale Native App inside Snowflake Semantic Views.

"Snowflake is where the world's enterprise data lives. Embedding AtScale inside Snowflake Semantic Views means every Cortex Analyst query, every Power BI report, every AI agent answer is governed by the same business logic — defined once, enforced everywhere, computed inside Snowflake."

Josh Klahr

VP of Product Management

Snowflake

Josh leads product strategy at Snowflake, owning the roadmap for Snowflake Semantic Views and the Embedded AtScale integration. He has spent his career at the intersection of data platforms and business intelligence, translating complex semantic layer requirements into the practical capabilities enterprise teams actually deploy.

"When Snowflake invests in semantic infrastructure, it signals that governed business context isn't just important — it's mission-critical. As AI agents become primary consumers of enterprise data, they need the same trusted metrics that power your BI dashboards. AtScale's Universal Semantic Layer ensures Fortune 500 companies get consistent answers whether they're asking an AI agent, Power BI, or Excel."

Dave Mariani

Co-Founder & CTO

AtScale

Dave is the Co-Founder and CTO of AtScale, driving the technical vision for the Universal Semantic Layer and AtScale's open Semantic Modeling Language (SML). A serial entrepreneur and big data pioneer with over 25 years of experience, he previously served as VP of Engineering at Yahoo! where he built what was then the world's largest multi-dimensional analytics platform.

"Snowflake Semantic Views needed a proven engine to make them real at enterprise scale — consistent definitions, governed metrics, and compute that actually performs. That's what AtScale has been building for a decade. Now it's embedded directly inside Snowflake, so customers get the semantics they need without leaving the platform they already trust."

Luis Maldonado

Chief Product Officer

AtScale

Luis is the CPO of AtScale, leading product strategy across the Universal Semantic Layer and the Embedded AtScale integration inside Snowflake Semantic Views. He previously served as VP of Product at dbt Labs and brings deep expertise in the modern data stack.

"Snowflake Semantic Views gives enterprises the governance layer they've been asking for. AtScale is the engine underneath it — the piece that ensures your metrics are consistent whether the query comes from Cortex Analyst, Power BI, or an AI agent."

Jay Schuren

President

AtScale

Jay is President of AtScale, overseeing global go-to-market including the Snowflake co-sell motion. He works directly with Snowflake field teams to bring AtScale into joint accounts — helping AEs and SEs translate the semantic layer story into pipeline and revenue.

"Snowflake is already where our joint customers run their data. AtScale being embedded inside Snowflake Semantic Views means the semantic layer travels with the data — no extra hop, no separate platform to buy, no governance gap."

Bryan Abou Rjaily

Chief Revenue Officer

AtScale

Bryan is the CRO of AtScale, bringing deep Snowflake field experience after helping scale Snowflake from under $100M in ARR to more than $4.7B. He brings a proven playbook for translating data and AI platform investments into measurable revenue outcomes.

"Snowflake Ventures investing in AtScale is validation that the semantic layer is not optional infrastructure — it's the foundation AI-powered Snowflake runs on."

Scott Howser

Chief Strategy Officer

AtScale

Scott is Chief Strategy Officer at AtScale, bringing executive product, customer, and strategy leadership accumulated since joining the company. He has over 15 years of experience in analytics and enterprise software.

"Snowflake is the platform enterprises have standardized on. AtScale being embedded inside Snowflake Semantic Views means our customers can simplify their data architecture without sacrificing governance."
