Leadership expansion aims to accelerate innovation in risk intelligence, threat detection, and emergency communication.
Alex Vaccaro, formerly Chief Marketing Officer, has been named the company’s first President. In this role, Vaccaro will lead strategic initiatives, including AlertMedia’s AI strategy, as the company continues releasing AI native products and embedding AI across its platform and operations. Vaccaro has been a principal architect of the go-to-market strategy that grew the company from an early-stage startup into a market leader with well over $100 million in ARR.
The company also appointed Eric Curwin as the first Chief AI Officer. Formerly VP of Data & AI, Curwin will work closely with Vaccaro on AI strategy and lead AI design and development across the platform and business. As Chief AI Officer, Curwin will set architectural standards and security governance for AI systems across the platform.
Additionally, Stuart Gray has been promoted to Chief Customer Officer from SVP of Customer Experience, and John Yarbrough to Chief Marketing Officer from SVP of Corporate Marketing. Both join the executive leadership team.
Today’s enterprise risk environment is driven by escalating geopolitical instability, intensifying weather events, and the growing operational complexity of global, distributed workforces. Simultaneously, AI provides organizations with opportunities to transform how they detect threats, communicate with employees, and coordinate incident response efforts with greater speed and accuracy.
AlertMedia’s Risk Intelligence and Response platform helps organizations navigate this increasingly volatile threat environment by bringing the entire risk management lifecycle into a single, unified operating system purpose-built for security and resilience teams. Since 2020, AlertMedia has embedded AI across its platform, pioneering the first AI-powered assistant in its category and in 2025 launching AI-native, agentic capabilities—including Real-Time Signals and Social Intelligence—that help organizations detect early risk signals across the digital landscape.
“These leaders have built the foundation for AlertMedia’s next chapter, and their promotions reflect both individual impact and the strategic priorities that will define the company’s future,” said Christopher Kenessey, CEO at AlertMedia. “As we continue investing aggressively in new capabilities designed to mitigate organizational risks, deepen our partnership with more than 3,500 customers who trust us to support mission-critical workflows, and expand our global footprint, Alex, Eric, Stuart, and John are the right leaders to help execute and achieve our long-term vision.”
“AlertMedia exists to help organizations keep their people safe. Every investment we make in our platform and across our organization is in service of that mission,” said Vaccaro. “Over the past year, we’ve introduced three new products, including real-time, AI-powered early risk signals as well as unique, agentic capabilities designed to help organizations identify and monitor acute threats to their executives and brands. I’m energized to continue accelerating the rate at which we bring new capabilities to market and ensuring they translate to real impact for the thousands of organizations that rely on us.”
AlertMedia’s leadership team additions position the company to continue accelerating its pace of innovation as it brings new offerings to market that help customers reduce alerting noise, speed time-to-detection, and reach affected employees faster during time-sensitive incidents.
