The Future is Bright for the American-Made Biometrics Provider As Leadership Acquisitions Pave the Way for Exponential Growth

Rank One Computing (ROC), a world leader in computer vision and biometrics, has once again made waves by bolstering its leadership team. The latest move is part of a continued long-term strategy to support the company’s growth momentum and capture demand for its multimodal biometrics solutions across the public sector and commercial markets.

Having just released a NIST-certified iris recognition algorithm in record time, the innovative computer vision company gears up for surging demand in 2024, expanding its leadership team on all fronts.

Following the appointments of CEO Scott Swann, COO Tony Brown, and CRO Benji Hutchinson, the latter two earlier this year, ROC has now named Susan Amick as their VP of Business Development, Commercial Markets. Formerly of Authentic ID and AFIX Technologies, Amick will head up the company’s ongoing expansion into the FinTech, law enforcement, and commercial markets.

“Susan brings a multi-decade track record of success in the biometrics and secure credentialing industry. This includes extensive experience advancing biometrics within state and local, federal, and international law enforcement agencies, as well as FinTech enterprise identity proofing solutions. We’re excited about the role she will play in helping ROC fulfill our mission to make the world a smarter, safer place.”
