Kieran Kennedy has been selected as chief revenue officer of Rimes, a provider of enterprise data management and investment intelligence solutions.
He joins Rimes with over 30 years of executive leadership in financial data, cloud ecosystems, and institutional investment workflows, having held senior roles at large organisations including Snowflake, FactSet, and Goldman Sachs.
Kieran most recently served as global vice president of data cloud product partnerships at Snowflake, where he led a worldwide team responsible for over US$1.2 billion in annual revenue and helped build cloud applications and data marketplaces.
Prior to Snowflake, he spent three decades at FactSet, where he held leadership positions in global sales, client solutions, product development, and strategic partnerships.
Kennedy comments: “Rimes is at the centre of one of the industry’s most important transformations, as firms shift from merely managing data to activating intelligence.
“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.”
Vijay Mayadas, president and CEO of Rimes, remarks: “Kieran brings a rare combination of financial data mastery, cloud platform expertise, and the proven ability to scale globally.
“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.”
