Corrie Briscoe to lead Databricks Partner Business in APJ

Corrie Briscoe joins Databricks after eight years at AWS where she led the APJ Partner Core organization.

Databricks has appointed Corrie Briscoe as Vice President of Partnerships and Alliances for Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ). Briscoe joins Databricks after eight years at AWS where she led the APJ Partner Core organization, overseeing partner programs, strategic investments and go-to-market initiatives that drove customer success.

In her new role, Briscoe will lead and expand Databricks' partner ecosystem across the region, collaborating with cloud providers, global and regional systems integrators, independent software vendors (ISVs) and technology partners to help organizations scale data and AI apps, analytics and agents.

With over three decades of experience in the partner ecosystem, Briscoe also had leadership roles at Microsoft, Cisco.

Briscoe’s appointment comes as organizations across APJ increase investment to unlock agentic AI. Databricks continues to invest in its partner ecosystem with the recent introduction of the Brickbuilder Partner Network (BPN), a global program rewarding partners for turning complex implementations into immediate business impact.

The data and AI vendor works with more than 8,000 partners globally, including over 1,000 across APJ. Together, the ecosystem is addressing a multi-billion-dollar opportunity in enterprise AI, helping customers build, deploy and scale data and AI applications.

"Enterprise AI is no longer just about choosing the best model. It's about giving that model the right enterprise context through a unified, governed platform, and that value is created together by Databricks and our partners," Kori O'Brien, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships, Databricks said.

"Corrie’s leadership will be instrumental as we continue to invest in our ecosystem and help partners create the next generation of AI solutions across the region. She brings an exceptional track record of helping partners build successful technology businesses and create greater customer impact," O’Brien added.

"APJ is home to one of the world’s most dynamic AI markets, spanning different industries, regulatory environments and stages of AI maturity, making strong local partner expertise more important than ever,” Corrie Briscoe, Vice President of Partnerships and Alliances at APJ said.

In a LinkedIn post, Briscoe also shared that what drew her to this role is the opportunity to build partnerships that will accelerate Databricks’ customers’ success with AI and Data in a way the company has never before imagined.

I’ve always believed the strongest ecosystems are built through innovation, execution, and trust, and I’m energized by the chance to work with partners, customers, and teams across the region to create meaningful impact together,” she said.

Briscoe’s appointment also comes as Databricks strengthens its senior leadership in the region. In April 2026, Databricks announced appointed Simon Davies as its Senior Vice President and General Manager for the APJ region. The vendor currently employs more than 1,500 employees across the region and plans to move into a new office in Singapore later this year.
