Rezensionen

"In my 30+ year experience as a venture investor I have never seen anyone rival Frank's operating know-how. With Frank, it all starts and ends with hardcore and focused execution. 'Get comfortable with being uncomfortable', 'hope is not a strategy', and 'the best way to build a brand is to get more customers' are some of the mantras by which Frank has taught us to live. There is no doubt that he has made many of us better board members, as we assist other CEOs along their journeys."
--Doug Leone, Global Managing Partner, Sequoia Capital

"Frank Slootman is one of the best performing CEOs there is. This book is essential reading for every leader who aspires to motivate teams, inspire excellence, and deliver beyond

expectations."
--Bill McDermott, President and CEO, ServiceNow

"Amp It Up is a terrific read for leaders and future leaders, whether they are at a start-up, an SMB, or a big company. As a CEO, Frank exudes total clarity on what to do, and equally as important what not to do...so if you are looking for a must-read about leadership, being focused on your mission, and executing at the highest levels, this is the book!"
--Joe Tucci, former Chairman and CEO, EMC

"Over the past 15 years, I've had a front-row seat to watch Frank Slootman's operational excellence on display at Data Domain, ServiceNow, and Snowflake. What makes Frank the best technology CEO on the planet: he sets and then beats unreasonably high expectations; he is a high-integrity people leader; he makes the strategy clear to all; and he is a fearless leader willing to do whatever it takes to win. Amp It Up is a must-read book for anyone looking to take their team and organization to the next level."
--Mike Speiser, Managing Director, Sutter Hill Ventures

"Frank worked for me as Data Domain became EMC and - wow! - what an incredible leader. He built an intensity around clear business priorities and the customer value proposition and drove it through the organization daily. Amp It Up tells that story and how it can be recreated in other organizations."
--Pat Gelsinger, CEO, Intel

"Frank Slootman brings his experience of delivering success into plain sight for all of us to learn and be inspired by: simplify the value proposition, focus on the customer, take away distraction and confusion, relentlessly drive execution with excellence, faster... Amp It Up is a recipe we can all apply."
--Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips
