Brian Gumbel, a seasoned leader in the cybersecurity industry, has joined Dataminr as president and chief operating officer.
In his new role, Gumbel will leverage his over two decades of experience in the field to guide growth efforts within the company, Dataminr announced from New York, New York on Thursday.
Dataminr CEO Ted Bailey noted Gumbel’s “proven track record in driving sustainable growth” and highlighted his “demonstrated success in pioneering go-to-market initiatives and experience scaling global organizations.”
His addition to Dataminr’s leadership team, said Bailey, “will help accelerate the global adoption of our rapidly advancing AI platform.”
Dataminr’s customer base has already grown, and the enterprise was recently valued at $4 billion.
As president and COO, Gumbel will lead Dataminr’s go-to-market strategy for the company’s complete customer base, which includes defense, federal and state and local government organizations as well as other commercial entities. He will also helm sales operations, marketing and partnerships.
Gumbel said Dataminr “has an immense opportunity” to bring its artificial intelligence platform to organizations across the globe.
“I am energized by the strength of the leadership team and passionate employee base, and excited to propel the next phase of Dataminr’s growth and place its powerful technology into the hands of customers who need it,” he added.
Gumbel has held numerous executive positions throughout his 25-year career. Most recently, he was president of Armis, and before then, he was chief revenue officer of Sisense. He has also served in leadership roles at ForeScout Technologies, Tanium and McAfee.
Another recent executive appointment – the selection of Murali Nemani as chief marketing officer in February – was an earlier step in Dataminr’s growth strategy. His responsibilities in the role are to generate customer outcomes and widen the adoption of the company’s AI platform.
