Rohirrim Welcomes General (Ret.) Richard Clarke
Four-star general and former USSOCOM commander joins Rohirrim to guide growth in secure AI for government acquisition
Rohirrim, the leading Proposals and Acquisitions AI automation platform, today announced the appointment of General (Ret.) Richard "Rich" Clarke to its Advisory Board. Clarke, the former commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), has held several key positions as well, including the Director of Strategy, Plans, and Policy on the Joint Staff, and commander of the 82d Airborne Division.
Strategic Expansion into Government and Defense
His appointment marks a pivotal step in Rohirrim's continued expansion into government and defense markets. Following the recent launch of RohanProcure, a groundbreaking AI-powered platform designed to modernize government acquisition processes, the company is poised to redefine efficiency in federal procurement. As Rohirrim develops this platform, Clarke's guidance and expertise will aid in constructing solutions that align with the needs of federal procurement teams in real-time.
The Importance of Leadership Experience
“General Clarke understands the stakes, the structure, and the urgency of delivering for government and defense agencies,” said Steven Aberle, CEO and founder of Rohirrim. “His leadership experience and strategic insight will be invaluable as we expand RohanProcure and bring trusted AI to the front lines of government operations.”
Rich Clarke's Extensive Background
Clarke served nearly four decades in the U.S. Army, ultimately commanding USSOCOM from 2019 to 2022, where he oversaw global operations and reported directly to the Secretary of Defense. Responsible for directing some of the nation’s most elite Special Forces, USSOCOM has an inherent need for rapid acquisition of mission-critical technologies. Units under its command often adopt agile procurement methods, which enhance innovation for mission success. Clarke's robust experience in these environments, along with expertise in cybersecurity and risk management, will be essential as Rohirrim tailors tools to meet the unique requirements of regulated sectors.
Clarke's Role in Shaping Future Technologies
Beyond his military service, Clarke holds positions on the Board of Directors at General Dynamics and the Board of Trustees at MITRE. These roles further affirm his influence in national security and technology strategy, providing him with a unique perspective to advise Rohirrim's leadership at the highest levels. His public insights on emerging technologies, such as generative AI, reinforce an innovative mindset that is essential in the public sector.
“Rohirrim is solving a problem I’ve experienced first-hand: the complexity and time-consuming nature of navigating proposals and acquisitions through government channels,” noted General (Ret.) Rich Clarke. “During my career, we needed to execute missions with utmost readiness, often with limited notice. This demand requires procurement systems that facilitate swift action, and I believe in this mission. I trust the Rohirrim team to build effective technology that makes government procurement faster and more efficient.”
Building Momentum Through Product Innovation
Clarke's onboarding comes as Rohirrim gains momentum via product advancements, notable funding achievements, and the development of its Advisory Board, which includes distinguished experts like Dr. Michael Papay, the Chair of the Board. His involvement adds significant credibility to Rohirrim’s initiatives in the public sector, reinforcing the rollout of RohanProcure by aligning AI development with the operational needs of defense and government contracting sectors.
