Welcome Alex Rice: ModelOp’s New Director of Partnerships

We’re excited to share that Alex Rice has joined ModelOp as our new Director of Partnerships!

Alex will be leading our global partnership strategy—building strong relationships with leading technology ecosystems like Snowflake, AWS, and others. His mission? To grow our partner programs, expand our reach, and create new opportunities to help enterprises tackle the complexities of AI governance at scale.

With more than a decade of experience driving strategic tech partnerships—including his time at Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)—Alex is known for forging high-impact connections and delivering real, measurable growth across industries. He’s an expert in building global partner ecosystems for AI and data analytics platforms, and he’s joining us at a critical moment.

As enterprises race to adopt increasingly sophisticated AI systems—including GenAI and Agentic AI—the need for robust governance has never been more urgent. Our CEO, Pete Foley, put it best:

"Our technology is a game-changing advancement for complex and regulated enterprises struggling with ‘AI sprawl’ – namely fragmented innovation, invisible risk, and compliance chaos. ModelOp is the AI control tower for all AI inititives—including ML, GenAI, and Agentic AI—enabling enterprises to accelerate AI innovation and scale with confidence. Alex’s exceptional knowledge of the industry will deliver real results – he knows how to connect people and build trust while opening new revenue channels and forging predictable growth."

Alex is equally excited to get started:

“I’m excited to join the ModelOp team as the stakes for excellence in AI governance are rising exponentially. Enterprises are already moving from GenAI to Agentic AI and while these systems promise transformative productivity gains, they also come with unprecedented risk – ModelOp is purpose-built for this future.”

We can’t wait to see the impact Alex will make as we continue helping enterprises innovate responsibly, manage risk effectively, and build the future of AI with confidence.

Stay tuned for more updates as we grow our partnerships and expand the ModelOp ecosystem.
