Commanders And Members Of All Service Branches In A Hands On,
Full-Immersion Experience

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/JCOC?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#JCOClt;/agt;–Hiro Rodriguez, Chief of Staff and Director of Executive Engagement at
DocuSign, has been selected to participate in the 91st Joint Civilian
Orientation Conference (JCOC 91) hosted by the Secretary of
Defense. The JCOC program is the oldest and most prestigious
public outreach and full immersion program in the Department of Defense.

As a JCOC participant, Hiro Rodriguez will engage hands-on at the
Pentagon and military installations, alongside senior military officials
and U.S. Service members. He will gain a better understanding of the
roles and mission of the U.S. Armed Forces; their skills, capabilities
and equipment employed in defense of our nation. The JCOC program
directly links to the Department’s Know Your Military (#KYM) initiative,
which is designed to help close the growing civilian-military divide by
educating the American public about their military.

“Hiro Rodriguez is a quintessential next generation transformational
leader as demonstrated by his strategic intellect, work ethic and
principled leadership,” said JCOC alumnus Keith Krach, former
Chairman/CEO of DocuSign and Ariba. “The JCOC experience was
instrumental in my commitment to someday serve the nation and I could
not think of a more ideal candidate to harness the strategies, practices
and policies of our armed forces for the betterment of the world’s
business, social and public sectors.”

“I genuinely believe in the value and power of integrating our
military’s leadership and influential civilians in an effort to develop
the next generation of transformational leaders,” said U.S. Army (Ret.)
four-star General Stanley McChrystal. “The JCOC is a one-of-a-kind
program that positions individuals such as Hiro to learn principles that
are gained through a lifetime of military service and bring them back to
their communities. I am confident he will represent the private sector
well at JCOC.”

“Hiro is both a ferocious learner and a willing leader. He is a true
Multiplier and a transformational leader in the making,” said Liz
Wiseman, best-selling author of Multipliers. “Through our interactions,
I have always been impressed by his passion, kindness, positivity and
results-oriented mentality. I could not be more thrilled for him to
receive such an amazing honor.”

“Over the years, I have come to know Hiro as a thoughtful problem-solver
and a hard-working, results oriented leader,” said Dan Goldin,
longest-standing NASA Director. “The lessons Hiro will gain from his
JCOC experience will undoubtedly have a ripple effect across our country
through the multitude of companies, governments, people, and executives
he will impact in the future.”

The objectives of the JCOC public liaison program are to:

• Educate and inform participants about the strength and readiness of
  the U.S. Armed Forces through personal observation of Army, Marine
  Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard operations
• Provide a better understanding of the rewards and challenges of
  military service
• Provide the American public opportunities to obtain a better
  understanding of national defense policies and programs through the
  eyes of those JCOC participants who have spent time with their military

“As a never-ending seeker of the most effective leadership principles, I
am very confident Hiro will take the lessons from our country’s military
leadership and apply them to the many organizations he will influence
throughout his life,” said Mike Depatie former CEO of Kimpton Hotels.
“Hiro is a truly impressive young man poised for success no matter what
his future endeavors may be.”

“Among such a select group of influential executives, Hiro will be a
strong representative of Silicon Valley and millennials across the
country,” said JCOC alumnus Marc Carlson, former senior executive of
DocuSign and Ariba. “As a capable leader with reach across multiple
countries, companies, industries and executives, Hiro will undoubtedly
be an effective ambassador to share the importance and mission of our
country’s military back to the civilian community.”

“Hiro has always been a supporter of causes greater than himself. He
continues to make a lasting and positive impact on his community through
his efforts of supporting various organizations including City Year,”
said Michael Brown, CEO of City Year. “I am proud to call Hiro a friend
and I am thrilled to see how the JCOC will transform him as a leader,
father, and community influencer.”

“On many occasions I have had the privilege of witnessing Hiro’s unique
ability to quickly and genuinely connect with everyone he meets–from
the receptionist to the board room,” said Curtis Feeny, Managing
Director at Silicon Valley Data Capital, board member, Khan Academy,
CBRE, Staples and JCOC alumnus. “Similar to the impact JCOC had on my
life, Hiro will forever be touched by our country’s military prowess and
will spread the positive message across the country.”
