About Trent Foley

Trent Foley is Chief Technology Officer at evolv Consulting. Location: Richardson, Texas, United States.

CTO at evolv Consulting. I build the dream team of AI-native consultants. We are Snowflake's #1 partner for Cortex Code usage. That ranking is not a vanity metric. It is the receipt for what happens when a consulting firm rewires itself around agentic delivery instead of bolting AI onto the same old SOWs. What this looks like in practice: 500 hours of client work reclaimed in 20 days. 2,500 automated actions in a single session. 5 to 8x productivity gains across our Cortex Code Champions team. Public recognition from Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy. Three times. My job is to make that repeatable. That means leading the technical strategy behind every evolv engagement, from Snowflake AI Data Cloud builds and migration accelerators to MCP-connected agentic workflows, Cortex Agent prototypes, and the next wave of enterprise AI tooling. It means partnering directly with Snowflake field teams to co-build hands-on labs. It means standing on stage at Snowflake Summit with client CDOs to show what AI-assisted enterprise data engineering actually looks like when it ships. Twenty years of consulting before this. Slalom. ORIX. Cloud-first application modernization, micro-service architecture, API integration, data platform builds across finance, healthcare, and defense. The throughline has always been the same: take what used to take months and deliver it in weeks, without compromising on the engineering bar. What I care about now: - Building the highest-density technical team in the Snowflake ecosystem - Agentic workflows that respect enterprise data governance - The shift from "AI features" to AI-native delivery models - Helping clients separate signal from hype in the GenAI market Based in Dallas/Fort Worth. Always open to conversations with practitioners, partners, and clients pushing the frontier of what data and AI can actually do inside the enterprise. let's evolv.
