Galorath Appoints David Rampton as Director of AI-Driven Cost Engineering and Analysis to Support AI Platform Deployment

Strategic Supply Chain and Manufacturing Visionary Brings Aerospace and Defense Industry Expertise Along with Deep SEER-SEM™ Experience

LONG BEACH, Calif., March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Galorath, the premier provider of digital engineering solutions and consulting services for project estimation, planning, and should-cost analysis, today announced David Rampton is rejoining its team as Director of AI-Driven Cost Engineering and Analysis. As a strategic supply chain and manufacturing leader with extensive experience in SEER® for Software (SEER-SEM™), Rampton returns to Galorath to lead its AI platform deployment and consulting engagement to ensure alignment between client's technical and business goals.

Rampton previously supported Galorath as a manufacturing expert, contributing to initiatives like the SEER-MFG™ Additive Manufacturing cost models. With his previous SEER experience and proven success in developing and implementing supply chain solutions, as well as driving the adoption of advanced software tools across aerospace and defense industries, Rampton will be essential in the deployment of Galorath's industry-first artificial intelligence SEERai™, aligning consulting and AI development teams, and ensuring positive customer experiences for long-term success.

"Client support for AI strategy and implementation will be crucial to the success of both the SEERai ecosystem and our customers' experience with AI," said Matt McDonald, Chief Service Officer at Galorath. "David's expertise in supply chain, manufacturing, and Galorath's SEER suite will be critical in the short- and long-term integration of SEERai as the team focuses on delivering measurable improvements through strategic AI implementations."

For the last 15 years, Rampton has focused on optimizing supply chain management for aerospace and defense manufacturers. Before returning to Galorath, Rampton led supply chain solutions for Provenance Chain® Network (PCN) in Portland, expanding its presence in the defense sector and securing multiple U.S. Space Force contracts. Prior to PCN, he worked for Raytheon as supply chain manager and later launched his own consulting firm, which provided technical and operational consulting services for manufacturing, supply chain management, and software development.

"Combining decades of proprietary data with cutting-edge AI, SEERai is well positioned to transform how Galorath customers approach cost, schedule, project planning, and risk analysis," said Rampton. "Ensuring the right training, resources, and support are in place is crucial for successfully integrating and maximizing SEERai's potential while also tailoring it to each customer's needs and strategic objectives, and I'm excited to lead this initiative."
