Patrick Riley brings over 15 years of combined experience in hardware, software, and cloud strategy to Eclypses as the Director of Cloud Alliances. Since 2020 he has been focused on Cloud Go-To-Market (Cloud GTM), helping hundreds of independent software vendors (ISVs) successfully partner with hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud.

Prior to joining Eclypses, Patrick served as the Cloud Go-To-Market Principal at Tackle.io, the category creator for Cloud GTM. There, he led the validation and launch of emerging products, helped scale co-sell programs, and advised ISVs on marketplace strategy. Before that, he spent 11 years at Dell and EMC in various roles across sales, operations, and transformation, including the migration of thousands of sellers to new Salesforce and quoting platforms during the Dell-EMC integration.

At Eclypses, Patrick is responsible for developing the company’s cloud partner and channel strategies, deepening relationships with cloud providers, and enabling sales teams to execute with Cloud GTM excellence. He brings a unique mix of operational discipline and go-to-market innovation to the team.

Patrick is passionate about the potential of Eclypses’ patented MTE technology to redefine cybersecurity architectures and is already seeing major interest from Enterprise and cloud providers alike.

He lives in North Carolina with his wife and two elementary-aged children. Outside of work, Patrick is deeply involved in community service, working with North Carolina Emergency Management, Search and Rescue teams, and his local fire department.
