ModelOp Welcomes Alex Rice as Director of Partnerships
Chicago, July 15, 2025 – ModelOp, a leader in AI lifecycle automation and governance for enterprises, has appointed Alex Rice as its new Director of Partnerships. In this role, Rice will steer the company’s global partnership strategy, collaborating with major technology ecosystems such as Snowflake and AWS to expand and scale business opportunities.

Leadership Focused on Scaling AI Governance
ModelOp CEO Pete Foley emphasized the need for strong leadership in partnership development as enterprises shift from GenAI to Agentic AI.
