Summary
Venkatesh Sekar is a Senior Data Cloud Architect with 11+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering cloud data platforms for enterprise clients across finance, energy, retail and telecom. Currently at Snowflake, he partners with global systems integrators to drive Snowflake adoption, architect CI/CD pipelines, and translate C-level strategy into technical roadmaps. He combines deep MDM and reference-data expertise with modern cloud stacks—Snowflake, Azure, AWS, Databricks, Terraform and DBT—and has repeatedly led short, high-impact professional services engagements that move teams from assessment to production. A pragmatic engineer who still writes prototypes and automation (including tools like a Snowflake inspector repo), he’s equally comfortable coaching client teams and building conversion utilities to accelerate migrations. Notably, he has migrated very large datasets (billions of records) into Snowflake and built reusable CI/CD and data-promote patterns that reduce operational risk. Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Venkatesh blends legacy systems mastery with a continuous focus on scalable, secure cloud-first architectures.
