Until joining the London Stock Exchange Group, he operated as an independent IT consultant. His experience has been gained predominantly through working at major European financial institutions. Andrew is considered a visionary and thought leader within his domain, with a tight focus on delivery. Successfully bridging the gap between Snowflake technological capability and business usage of technology, he often develops proof of concept to showcase benefits leading to successful business outcomes.
Since early 2020 Andrew has immersed himself in Snowflake and is considered a subject matter expert. He is SnowPro Core certified, contributes to online forums, and speaks at Snowflake events on behalf of the London Stock Exchange Group. In recognition of his contribution to implementing Snowflake at London Stock Exchange Group, Andrew recently received the Snowflake Data Driver award.

Andrew has two daughters, 19 and 21, both elite figure skaters. He has a passion for Jaguar cars, having both designed and implemented modifications, and has published articles for both the Jaguar Enthusiast magazine and the Jaguar Driver magazine. Andrew enjoys 3D printing and has a mechanical engineering workshop with lathe, milling machine, and TIG welder, to name but a few tools, and enjoys developing his workshop skills.

Sahir Ahmed is a Snowflake CorePro certified developer working alongside Andrew on the Snowflake Corporate Data Cloud at the London Stock Exchange Group. Sahir began investing his time learning Snowflake prior to joining the London Stock Exchange Group. He drew upon his experience with other relational databases such as MySQL and MS Access. Sahir developed a passion for Snowflake by designing a car parts catalog using JavaScript stored procedures and SQL scripts. As Sahir’s skills and knowledge expanded, he dug deeper into Snowflake and within a year he became SnowPro Core certified.
In his spare time, Sahir also takes advantage of his self-taught skills in both electrical and manual car repairs, working on many brands of cars such as Jaguar, BMW, and Audi, to name a few. He also competes in amateur boxing competitions. Seen as a role model, Sahir supports and encourages youngsters both within boxing and his wider community. His biggest driving factor, and where his most precious time, is his time spent with his wife and two young daughters. They keep his motivation alive and push him to be the best version of himself.
