Summary
Hank Roark is a seasoned technology leader who builds platforms that turn operational pain into strategic advantage, with 20+ years driving enterprise-scale data, ML, and cloud transformations across aerospace and agriculture. At Boeing he created the company's first enterprise analytics platform and Mission-Ready Cloud, delivering massive cost savings and accelerating time-to-field for regulated programs; at Deere he shaped FarmSight and a long-horizon technology strategy linking robotics, electrification, and connected vehicles. He combines hands-on engineering instincts (from physics-trained systems thinking) with executive-level coalition building—securing eight-figure investments and governing nine-figure cloud spend. Known for spotting non-obvious connections between compliance, product, and revenue, he repeatedly scales novel ideas into mission-critical systems. Based in Owls Head, Maine, he now leads a 43-person organization focused on cloud, developer platforms, and turning legacy apps into AI agents.
