SA Announces Partnership with General Rodney Anderson
Solutions Afoot is proud to announce the partnership with General Rodney Anderson, a Retired, 2 Star General of the U.S. Army and currently the President and CEO of LDR Consulting LLC, providing strategic planning, military transition, and leader development services.
When General Rodney Anderson and Solutions Afoot joined forces, it was, as they say in the movie Casablanca, the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
General Anderson, who chairs the North Carolina Military Affairs Commission, met representatives of Solutions Afoot when both parties attended the North Carolina Defense Summit and the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual meeting and exposition, which was held in 2023.
Anderson said he was impressed by Solution Afoot’s “ability to streamline activities as part of the growing Information Age.”
Solutions Afoot is a premier custom software development company that specializes in Caspio, a low-code platform. Solutions Afoot is the only premiere Gold Partner of Caspio, speaking to the highest level of talent of their team of skilled professional developers.
Nike Roach, Chief Business Development Officer of Solutions Afoot, said that they decided to ally with Anderson as a way to increase their opportunities to help veterans and bridge a gap between government entities to aid with Military & Veterans Affairs in the technological space.
What does bridging that gap look like? “With General Anderson’s vision and connections with local, state, and federal government agencies, and the solutions and services we bring at Solutions Afoot, we are confident in being able to partner together and provide custom database and web applications solutions to these agencies, offering individualized platforms for each agency’s needs.”, said Roach.
Anderson said, “I plan to connect Solutions Afoot’s capabilities with education, non-profits, government, and defense contract organizations, building our best future by harnessing technology.”
Anderson describes himself as “A Christian, American, husband, father of three, grandfather of two, farmer, soldier, paratrooper, artilleryman and military advocate.”
He was born and raised on a family farm in Elloree, South Carolina, and was one of the first black students to integrate public schools there in 1965, a group known as the “Elloree Seven.”
He attended Wofford College, where he was a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity and received a degree in economics as well as a commission in the U.S. Army Field Artillery.
“I spent 33 years serving in a range of military assignments from Fort Liberty to the Pentagon, from Korea to Hawaii,” he said. “Most of my service was at Fort Liberty as a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division.”
He served four tours with that division and completed 125 parachute jumps, and also completed combat deployments including Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada, Operation Desert Shield/Storm in Saudi Arabia, and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. In all, his military assignments took him to more than 30 nations.
After he retired, he remained active in working for the benefit of his fellow soldiers.
“My passion is helping military service members build resilience and make a good transition after military service.”
To that end, he explained, “Our 2024 focus is to assist military spouses in a range of topics from employment to family resilience.”
Roach states “As a US Army Veteran, I stand in awe of the work General Anderson is doing for our military and veteran community. With a heart that beats for service families and a vision that lights the way, he’s building a brighter future for business bases in North Carolina and beyond.”
Above all else, Anderson wants to help his fellow military members and veterans, proudly proclaiming “I am a Soldier for Life!” Solutions Afoot, Partner & CBDO, Nike Roach also shares this sediment and thus General Anderson and Solutions Afoot have partnered up to aid the military and veterans across the globe, meeting the needs of custom software development to accomplish every need across the many divisions, agencies, and departments of the Department of Defense and beyond.
