Our CEO David Hook worked within the Department of Veterans Affairs for 13 years, giving him a firsthand view of the most costly and persistent issues facing Federal agencies today.  Now as an entrepreneur, David Hook is Resua’s incredible team to bring effective solutions directly to the organizations that need them the most.

Our Team

chief executive officer

David Hook

David worked within the Department of Veterans Affairs for 13 years, with his last post as Chief of Staff for the VA’s National Artificial Intelligence Institute. Being at the center of the VA’s national medical network and seeing the gridlock of the Federal government’s struggle to modernize and automate, David is well suited to do productive business in the private sector. He is close with an extensive network of Medical Center directors, the 105 members of the executive leadership class (of which he was President), program directors, and the staff of the VA’s National AI Institute, which he grew 400% year-over-year from its charter in 2019 through June 2022 when he left the Federal government and incorporated Resua AI, Inc.
 

“Resua is founded on the deep-held belief that AI is going to be one of the technologies that defines this century, combined with a recognition that there are mature AI technologies that can help us be more efficient as humans and workers, and that skilled implementers are going to be needed.”

Our Vision

Our Vision

At Resua, we are working to build a future where facts matter and are discussed relative to the evidence that supports them, and a world where work is focused on human connection and interaction because work that doesn’t require a human touch is done without one.

Commitment to Service

Resua AI is a US Veteran owned business (SDVOSB) with deep industry connections in both Federal government and technology.  

“Between my military service, school district, and department of Veterans Affairs I have 20 years of public service. Government is a powerful place where people can come together to pool talent and resources to create services and infrastructure that improve quality of life for everyone. I believe in service and sacrifice, but sometimes we make things too hard for ourselves. Resua AI wants to be a trusted partner to help make government less burdensome, less prone to error and inequity, and reduce processing times by an order of magnitude.”
