Frances Ciolek

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built a career at the intersection of technology, data, and growth. I’ve led Data & AI go-to-market strategy, strategic partnerships, and business development at Google Cloud, Snowflake, Starburst, and now Crunchbase, partnering with startups, mid-market companies, and global enterprises to turn cloud, data, and AI investments into measurable revenue.

My expertise spans hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud), modern data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, Starburst), and frontier and agentic AI (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, xAI, and others). I believe an AI strategy is only as strong as the data and infrastructure behind it.

Today, I advise founders, Fortune 100 executives, and technology leaders on cloud modernization, data infrastructure and governance, AI architecture, intelligent automation, and Data & AI monetization and GTM strategy, helping turn technology investments into scalable solutions and real commercial outcomes.

At my core, I’m a connector, builder, and commercially minded GTM strategist who believes in the power of people and servant leadership. It’s not just what you accomplish, but how you accomplish it and how you take care of people along the way. And it takes a village to scale.

Whether you’re building a data platform, transforming your business, scaling AI, commercializing data and AI products, or just want to geek out on tech, let’s connect and build together. 🦄🚀
