Snowplow, the industry leader in data creation and behavioral data, announced the expansion of its global operations with the opening of an office in Boston, MA. The Boston office will become the center of Snowplow’s rapidly expanding US operations, and the co-headquarters for the company, alongside the existing London, UK office.
“We are excited to build our second HQ for Snowplow in Boston,” said Alex Dean, CEO and co-founder of Snowplow. “Working with our new chair Chris Lynch in Boston, we quickly realized that the city has a thriving software sector and an abundance of highly-skilled technology talent – particularly in the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) fields.”
Snowplow’s Boston office will open on July 1, 2022, and the company will commence a hiring drive from this month.

Snowplow was built from the ground up to enable organizations to create data for AI and advanced analytics. Rather than spending inordinate amounts of time cleansing, preparing, and wrangling data exhaust – the by-product data from existing applications – Snowplow is pioneering the ability for any organization to deliberately design and deliver an AI-ready data asset that harnesses the predictive power of behavioral data.
Companies can now create and consume data about customer and system behavior in astonishing detail, using it to power an array of commercial use cases, from marketing attribution to product analytics, to fraud detection.
Snowplow is seeing very strong demand from customers, with a quarter of a trillion events per month currently being generated on the commercial platform,
Alex Dean, CEO and co-founder of Snowplow, commented, “Nick’s career sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and marketing. He is uniquely expert at defining, building, and scaling new markets across both incumbent and early to late-stage startup environments. Nick’s experience and vision make him the best person to drive Snowplow’s growth and expansion plans forward.”
