On February 13, 2025, Virtualitics, known as the Mission AI Company, announced the promotion of Rob Bocek to the role of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Bocek, a prominent figure with significant experience in defense and intelligence sectors, has been a driving force in crafting the company’s strategy for public sector engagements. Notably, in the past year, he played a crucial role in securing four Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts, a remarkable feat accomplished by less than one percent of businesses participating in the program.
Bocek's leadership has been shaped by his decorated career as a U.S. Navy SEAL Officer, and a substantial tenure in revenue development at tech giants like Microsoft, alongside involvement in various dynamic startups over the last 16 years. His capabilities in aligning mission-critical needs with sophisticated AI technologies have been beneficial for Virtualitics, allowing them to address operational challenges and enhance readiness across the national defense domain.
Michael Amori, CEO and co-founder of Virtualitics, remarked on Bocek's appointment, stating, "Rob's leadership, mission-first mindset, and deep understanding of defense operations coupled with advanced AI solutions make him the ideal leader for Virtualitics at this pivotal moment. He has already initiated impactful changes, and we are excited about the company's direction under his guidance."
Since joining Virtualitics in 2023 as President and Public Sector Go-To-Market Leader, Bocek has spearheaded initiatives that position the company as a reliable AI provider for prominent defense entities such as the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and USSOCOM. His leadership dynamic has been critical to the expansion of their Integrated Readiness Optimization (IRO) product suite, achieving an impressive growth rate of 190% year-over-year.
The AI applications developed by Virtualitics are currently enhancing national security operations by unveiling hidden patterns and addressing gaps related to operational readiness, material access, and personnel shortages. Bocek's team is actively extending efforts across U.S. federal agencies and defense communities, transforming mission readiness and boosting operational efficiencies through rapid and scalable AI solutions.
”Artificial Intelligence is transforming how mission commanders absorb data, identify operational gaps, and prioritize responses. We are at the forefront of making these vital capabilities accessible and actionable at scale,” Bocek commented.
With almost a decade of service in the armed forces and over 16 years leading teams in advanced defense technology sectors, Bocek possesses a profound appreciation for groundbreaking innovations that provide a strategic edge. His promotion further emphasizes Virtualitics' commitment to broadening its AI decision intelligence frameworks and applications, reinforcing alliances, and expanding solutions that facilitate mission success.
"The most rewarding aspect of my role is collaborating with our dedicated team of professionals. We understand the challenges that warfighters and decision-makers confront and are committed to ensuring they have access to transformative AI technologies that empower them to make swifter and smarter decisions while safeguarding our nation and the liberties we cherish," Bocek stated.
