Steve Harris, a more than two-decade Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) veteran, has been named president and general manager of the newly established public sector business unit at data science and analytics tools provider Alteryx.
He will lead the development of go-to-market strategies for Alteryx Public Sector and establish strategic partnerships with system integrators and value-added resellers across the government market, the company said Tuesday.
Harris, a six-time Wash100 awardee, joined Alteryx from higher education technology provider Ellucian, where he was chief revenue officer. He previously led Dell Technologies’ public sector group as president of federal systems at Dell EMC.
The new Alteryx business builds on the company’s experience working with public sector institutions and customers across government and defense.
Alteryx provides support to active-duty service members transitioning to civilian careers under the Department of Defense’s SkillBridge program.
“Establishing a government-focused entity is an important step in our journey. Empowering government workers to uncover analytics insights across their organizations is our goal,” said Mark Anderson, CEO of Alteryx.
