Doane brings more than two decades of channel experience to the company and will be responsible for spearheading RapidMiner's partner network. In this role, he will be responsible for growing the company's network of resellers, distributors and partners in the Americas. Responsibilities include increasing revenue growth through the management and expansion of RapidMiner's network of systems integrator and consulting partners, extending RapidMiner's presence via resellers, further developing RapidMiner's OEM channel and managing strategic technology alliances.

"Michael offers vast experience in setting strategic direction for channel and alliance programs in the analytics market and executes efficiently to the benefit of our new and existing partners," said Ingo Mierswa, co-founder and CEO of RapidMiner. "Advanced analytics is one of the industry's hottest growth markets, and RapidMiner is a recognized leader in this field. Our partner network is a great way for third parties to capitalize on this, and Michael is a driving force behind this opportunity for our partners."

Previously, Doane was the director of North American channel sales and the global relationship director for IBM at SPSS, a provider of predictive analytics solutions. At SPSS, Doane was tasked with the design, implementation and launch of the reseller program in North America, where he significantly increased the company's channel pipeline and sales revenues year over year, until its acquisition by IBM.
