Virtualitics Names Defense Tech Veteran Rob Bocek as Chief Revenue Officer to Drive AI Innovation Across Federal and Global Markets

PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtualitics, the Mission AI Company, today announced the advancement of Rob Bocek to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Bocek, a seasoned leader with deep expertise in defense, intelligence, and federal civilian markets, has been instrumental in shaping Virtualitics' public sector strategy. This last year he helped secure four Phase III SBIR contracts, an achievement reached by fewer than 1% of companies that enter the SBIR program.

Bocek's unique blend of operational and commercial expertise stems from his service as a combat decorated U.S. Navy SEAL Officer and a highly successful career leading revenue teams at Microsoft, in addition to multiple high-growth startups over the past 16 years. His ability to align mission needs with advanced AI solutions has enabled Virtualitics to successfully bridge the gap between operational challenges and mission readiness imperatives across the national defense sector.

"Rob's leadership, mission-first mindset, and deep understanding of both defense operations and complex AI solutions make him the right leader at the right time to take Virtualitics to the next level," said Michael Amori, CEO and co-founder of Virtualitics. "He has already delivered a measurable impact, and we're excited for what's ahead under his leadership."

Bocek joined Virtualitics as President, Public Sector & GTM Leader in 2023, spearheading key initiatives positioning Virtualitics as a trusted AI provider for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, USSOCOM, and other national security organizations. His leadership has been pivotal in scaling the company's Integrated Readiness Optimization (IRO) product suite, with an impressive Year over Year growth of 190%. Virtualitics' AI applications are deployed in the mission today, reshaping national security operations by providing hidden insights to address readiness gaps in performance, mission availability, materiel accessibility, manning shortages & other degraders. 

Bocek's team has been surging efforts across US Federal Agencies, DOD, & warfighting communities, transforming mission readiness and operational efficiencies at speed and scale. Virtualitics' AI solutions are key enablers, adding depth and breadth to decision intelligence at the point of need & directly support the Pentagon's AI adoption strategy.

"Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how mission commanders consume data, understand their operational gaps, and prioritize actions for how they should respond; allowing them to accelerate through the decision-making process. We are leading the charge in making these capabilities real, accessible, and actionable at scale," said Bocek.

Having served for nearly a decade in uniform and leading teams in the high-growth defense technology sector for over 16 years, Bocek has a deep appreciation for cutting edge innovation that provides strategic advantage. His promotion reinforces Virtualitics' commitment to expanding its AI decision intelligence platform and AI applications across U.S. public sector and global markets, strengthening partnerships, and scaling solutions that support mission success.

"By far the best part of this job is working side by side with such an incredibly talented and devoted team of professionals," said Bocek. "Recognizing first hand the challenges warfighters and decision-makers face, our focus is ensuring they have the most transformative AI capabilities to make faster, smarter decisions and safeguarding those who defend our nation and secure our American freedoms."
