Rimes, a prominent provider of enterprise data management and investment intelligence solutions, has named Kieran Kennedy as its new Chief Revenue Officer. With over 30 years of leadership experience in financial data, cloud ecosystems, and institutional investment workflows from roles at Snowflake, FactSet, and Goldman Sachs, Kennedy is poised to drive commercial growth amid the industry's AI-driven transformation.
Kieran Kennedy brings proven expertise from high-growth environments. At Snowflake, as Global Vice President of Data Cloud Product Partnerships, he directed a team generating over $1.2 billion in annual revenue and contributed to building a leading cloud applications and data marketplace.
His three-decade tenure at FactSet included senior roles in global sales, client solutions, product development, and strategic partnerships, managing a $1.4 billion operation across more than 85,000 users and 4,000 firms.
"Rimes is at the center of one of the industry's most important transformations, as firms shift from merely managing data to activating intelligence," said Kieran Kennedy. "As clients navigate unprecedented complexity across diverse data sources, AI models, and cloud ecosystems, they need trusted, governed, interoperable data to deploy AI safely and effectively. I'm excited to join Rimes as one of the only firms with the breadth and depth of data intelligence needed to deliver on this transformation at scale."
Kennedy's arrival aligns with rising demand for decision-grade data to support safe AI deployment in investment management. His blend of financial markets knowledge and cloud platform scaling positions him to advance Rimes' commercial strategy.
"Kieran brings a rare combination of financial data mastery, cloud platform expertise, and the proven ability to scale globally," said Vijay Mayadas, President & CEO of Rimes. "His leadership experience at Snowflake and FactSet comes at exactly the right moment for Rimes, as institutional investors shift toward more connected, intelligence-driven workflows. He will play a pivotal role in evolving our commercial strategy and accelerating growth."
This appointment builds on recent investment from Five Arrows, supporting Rimes' expansion in product offerings, client relationships, and global leadership in enterprise data management.
