NEW YORK, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dataminr, one of the world’s leading AI companies, today announced the appointment of Matthew Harrell as its new Chief Partner Officer. Drawing from his extensive experience leading Global Channels and Alliances at Cloudflare, and previously as Americas Channel leader at Google Cloud, Harrell will be responsible for growing and scaling Dataminr’s partner ecosystem to meet the accelerating global demand for its products.

We see a massive runway ahead for our partner ecosystem and have the utmost confidence that Matt will enable us to tap into the full potential of our partner capabilities.”
Harrell’s appointment comes at a time of significant momentum for the company, following the recent appointment of award-winning cybersecurity veteran Brian Gumbel as President and Chief Operating Officer, and the launch of ReGenAI, a breakthrough form of generative AI. Additionally, Dataminr’s customer base continues to grow, serving two-thirds of the Fortune 50, over 100 U.S. government organizations, and more than 20 international governments across both the corporate and government markets.

“Dataminr is at an important inflection point in its growth journey: It’s one of the few companies in the AI space that has demonstrated strong product market fit for its AI platform,” said Matthew Harrell, Chief Partner Officer at Dataminr. “There is an opportunity to bolster our partner strategy to fully leverage our industry-leading AI platform to help partners bring unique applications, solutions and services to their customers that combine the power of Dataminr’s predictive and generative AI to achieve far better outcomes. Behind this remarkable growth opportunity is a powerful mission of helping keep people, communities and assets safe, which is one of the central reasons I am thrilled to join the team at Dataminr.”
