LONDON and PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rainbird Technologies, the pioneer in deterministic and auditable AI for enterprise-grade applications, today announced the appointment of Coenraad van der Poel as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Van der Poel, a seasoned SaaS scale-up leader and former UiPath executive, brings over 30 years of experience in building and leading high-performing go-to-market organisations.
Van der Poel will lead Rainbird’s commercial strategy as the company enters its next phase of accelerated growth, following strong enterprise adoption and growing global demand for trustworthy AI. His appointment comes as Rainbird expands further into the US market, strengthens its partner ecosystem, and scales its enterprise and developer communities.
A proven leader at the intersection of technology and business, Van der Poel was the first executive for UiPath in the United States, where he helped drive record-breaking growth and establish leadership in Intelligent Automation. He has also held senior roles at Accenture, HP Enterprise Services, and EzGov, and advised numerous high-growth technology companies on building scalable, sustainable GTM strategies.
“Coenraad’s appointment signals a major step forward for Rainbird as we prepare for our next phase of global expansion,” said James Duez, Co-Founder and CEO. “His expertise in scaling SaaS businesses, combined with a track record of building world-class revenue organisations, will help us accelerate adoption of Rainbird’s deterministic AI platform at a time when enterprises are crying out to embed trust in their AI projects.”
Van der Poel added: “I am thrilled to be joining Rainbird at such a pivotal time. In a market dominated by probabilistic AI models that can’t explain their decisions, Rainbird’s approach is unique and urgently needed. I look forward to working with James, Ben and the team to expand Rainbird’s reach, strengthen our partner-led growth, and help enterprises worldwide harness AI they can truly trust.”
