PRESS RELEASE: With an impressive growth curve over the past decade, Ardoq is on the path to accelerate their expansion even further as they ramp up their go-to-market efforts via partners. Following the strengthening of the company's leadership with new Chief Revenue Officer Helen Sutton and Chief Marketing Officer Monica Visconti-Patel, Ardoq continues to aim high in strategic hires. Today, Ardoq proudly announces Tahir Sharif as their new VP of Partners. 

“I couldn’t be happier to welcome Tahir to our team. Having worked with him at Dataminr, I have first-hand experience with his professionality, creativity, and urge to build strong, meaningful partnerships. His proven ability to navigate the complexities of the international market and foster collaborations makes him the ideal leader to drive our global expansion through partners,” says Chief Revenue Officer Helen Sutton. 

Sharif brings to Ardoq a wealth of expertise and a history of delivering transformative results across many sales territories globally and partner types. He has spearheaded the partner sales accelerations in several prominent technology companies in addition to Dataminr, such as Teradata, Cisco, and Microsoft. As the VP of Partners, he will be responsible for orchestrating strategic relationships that will enhance Ardoq's presence on a global scale. 

Ardoq already has an extensive set of Partners, including Technology Partners, Systems Integrators, Consultancies, and Resellers across North America, Europe, and APAC. Sharif’s role will deepen those existing partnerships, expand coverage globally, and embed a Partner-centric mindset in all parts of the go-to-market motion.

"Having a strong partner channel will enable us to deliver our product to all types of companies."

“All agile, large enterprises need a modern SaaS Enterprise Architecture solution to drive transformation more efficiently, and those enterprises often work with Systems Integrators and Consultancy Partners to support those projects. Having a strong partner channel will enable us to deliver our product to all types of companies,” Sutton states.

"I'm honored to take on the role of VP of Partners at Ardoq. Their powerful cloud-native platform is a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools. They are raising the bar in the industry as they challenge the way large enterprises should leverage data and insights from their digital landscape. Together with our dedicated Partner team, I am committed to forging partnerships that will convey Ardoq’s vision and contribute to unparalleled growth and scale as we build a Partner-centric Go-To-Market Strategy." Sharif says.

According to Sutton, Ardoq's decision to appoint Sharif as the new VP of Partners reflects the company’s commitment to innovation, collaboration, and international growth. The company is set to leverage his strategic acumen to solidify its position as a global leader in the SaaS industry.

“Ardoq’s growth potential is extensive, and we know partners are key for us to offer the solution globally. Even though many companies are far along in their Digital Transformation journey, research shows that 70 percent of the projects fail to meet their targets. Ardoq seeks to help companies succeed on their Digital Transformation journey,” Sutton concludes.
