Aurelius Systems today announced that Brice Cooper has joined the company as Chief Strategy Officer. In this role, Cooper will lead corporate strategy, business development, government relations, and strategic growth initiatives as Aurelius scales its technology and operations across domestic and international markets.

Cooper is a defense industry veteran with more than 25 years of leadership experience spanning defense technology, the defense industrial base, military acquisition, congressional affairs, and special operations. As Chief Strategy Officer, Cooper will work closely with Aurelius’ executive leadership to shape the company’s long-term strategy, expand its defense and government partnerships, lead government relations, identify new markets and mission applications, and support the company’s continued growth.

Throughout his career, he has focused on corporate and growth strategy, market development, and government engagement. He has also helped accelerate advanced technologies from development to production and operational use for some of the defense sector’s leading venture-backed technology businesses, from early-stage ventures through growth-stage organizations and publicly traded enterprises.

“Brice’s extensive leadership experience and deep understanding of the defense industry will be critical as we scale the production of Archimedes and continue to build our presence across the defense ecosystem,” said Michael LaFramboise, CEO and founder of Aurelius Systems. “As we move from development toward scaled deployment, Brice will help shape the strategy, partnerships, and opportunities that position Aurelius for its next stage of growth and long-term success.”

“Aurelius has an extraordinary opportunity to develop and scale technologies that address the most consequential challenges facing the Homeland, the Warfighter, and our international partners,” Cooper said. “I’m excited to join the company at this stage of its growth and work alongside the team to translate groundbreaking technology into operational capability, strengthen our partnerships across government and industry, and position Aurelius for long-term growth.”
