The Blackline Catalyst program welcomes leading technology and solutions providers seeking to enhance their connectivity offerings or enter the connected safety market, which is expected to reach $12.1 billion USD by 2027, according to Polaris Market Research.

Supporting the creation and cultivation of Blackline’s new partner program, Brendon Cook has been appointed as Chief Partnership Officer (CPO) to expand and support this new program. Mr. Cook co-founded Blackline Safety in 2004 and has supported its growth as a technology leader, and in recent years, has overseen its marketing communications programs.
