Leading the program is industry veteran Kat Mills, whose unique perspective combines years of in-house experience as a cybersecurity reseller with extensive expertise in partner development and growth. Mills' dual background provides her with an unmatched understanding of reseller challenges and opportunities, having personally navigated the complexities of the channel before transitioning to drive partner success and revenue growth for leading technology companies. Her track record of adding measurable success to reseller bottom lines, combined with her deep knowledge of current cybersecurity reseller needs, positions her to build a program that truly serves the partner community.
“The AI security landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and resellers need a partner who understands both the technology and the business of the channel,” said Kat Mills, Head of Channel Partners at Operant AI. “Having been a reseller myself, I know firsthand the challenges partners face and what they need to succeed. This program is built from the ground up with those needs in mind, providing not just world-class technology, but the education, incentives, and support that drive real business outcomes. We're committed to ensuring our partners can confidently lead their customers into the AI-powered future while maintaining the security and responsibility that organizations demand.”
