Alteryx Chooses Palo Alto Networks Vet to Lead Go-to-Market Plan

Alteryx has hired Dean Darwin as its new chief revenue officer to lead its go-to-market plan.

Darwin will lead the global go-to-market organization. That includes worldwide sales, channels and all industry-specific go-to-market initiatives.

In addition to leading the go-to-market plan, he’ll drive Alteryx‘s next phase of growth, leveraging the company’s strategic alliance partners. Those include global system integrators, technology partners and cloud providers.

Alteryx is a supplier of analytic process automation (APA) software.

“I am honored to join a company leading in analytics, data science and integrated process automation, a category we call analytic process automation, or APA,” Darwin said. “Organizations around the globe rely on Alteryx to accelerate digital transformation, converge analytics into one unified automation platform and speed the delivery of business outcomes. I look forward to playing an integral role in Alteryx’s continued growth and bringing my experience to this high-caliber team, our customers across 90 countries and our worldwide channel partners.”

Palo Alto Networks Experience

Darwin previously served as the senior vice president and general manager at Palo Alto Networks. He was responsible for creating and leading the Prisma business unit. It’s a strategic, cloud-focused initiative and growth engine for the company.

Before Palo Alto Networks, Darwin held several senior executive positions at F5 Networks. He led both the marketing and channels organizations that were instrumental in significant revenue growth during his tenure.

“I am excited to welcome Dean to the Alteryx executive team,” said Mark Anderson, Alteryx‘s CEO. “His proven track record leading and scaling world-class global GTM organizations, coupled with building high-growth cloud businesses is impressive. Dean brings a breadth of experience relevant to our strategic growth priorities, and I look forward to partnering with him as we continue to serve our customers and partners globally.”

Scott Jones, previous president and chief revenue officer, is leaving Alteryx to pursue outside opportunities. He will transition his responsibilities to Darwin this month.
