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. As
Dataminr continues to innovate at scale and push the boundaries of

market through new and unique routes. 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

global partner ecosystem, which includes leading businesses like
Google, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks,
Carahsoft, SHI/Stratascale, NEC Networks & System Integration
Corporation, and long-time mapping and analytics partner ESRI.
"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."
With over 25 years of experience across sales and channel
leadership roles, Harrell joins Dataminr from Cloudflare where he
grew channel revenue 15-fold in five years, driving significant
value and leverage for shareholders through a robust go-to-market
channel strategy. Prior to Cloudflare, Harrell spent over ten years
at Google where he led the Google Cloud partner business and
channel go-to-market strategy across the Americas. Grounded in data
and business analytics, Harrell also has extensive entrepreneurial
experience in early stage investing and high-growth tech
