“At the core of this merger are highly valuable big data capabilities that will allow us to advance iMapData’s already powerful situational awareness capabilities to offer a broader range of innovative solutions that transform complex data into actionable intelligence,” said Paul McQuillan, president and CEO of iMapData. “PlanetRisk shares our commitment to developing visionary technology solutions to customers’ challenges, as well as creating technology that answers questions about future outcomes.”

McQuillan recently joined as president and CEO of iMapData, and will continue in this role in the new organization that has become PlanetRisk. He brings over 25 years of federal sector experience and a track record of success growing successful organizations that serve both government and private sector customers. Most recently, McQuillan was CMO of A-T Solutions, which was recently acquired by PAE.

Mark Dumas, who founded PlanetRisk last year, will become chief strategy officer of the new PlanetRisk, and he will collaborate with McQuillan on continuing to expand the company’s capabilities and solutions to meet the demands of its incredible roster of customers in the global private sector as well as in the U.S. government. A successful technology entrepreneur and well-respected leader in the domain of geospatial analytics, Dumas was the founder and CEO of SPADAC, which he sold to GeoEye in 2010.

“We are extremely excited about the future of PlanetRisk and what we have the opportunity to create — an organization that will provide truly amazing and vital solutions in the area of actionable intelligence, which are so critically needed right now around the world,” said Dumas.
