NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 Rho, the award-winning business banking platform, today announced that Eric Woersching has joined the company’s Board of Directors as an independent director. A respected advisor to startups and public companies, Woersching will support Rho as the company transitions into its next stage of growth. 

Eric Woersching Joins Rho Board of Directors

Woershing has been a board member and chair of the audit committee at Palantir Technologies since 2022. Prior to that, he led corporate development at EasyPost, was a General Partner at Initialized Capital, and was a portfolio manager and head trader at Peter Thiel’s macro funds, Thiel Macro and Clarium Capital, from 2008 to 2016. 

“Eric has been a thoughtful and invaluable advisor to the company since its inception,” said Rho CEO and Co-Founder Everett Cook. “He has a diverse blend of macroeconomic, operating, and investing expertise that gives him a uniquely nuanced point of view for a business like Rho. We’re excited to bring him onto the board.”

Woersching believes Rho’s unique vision of building high-quality financial software on top of a world-class business banking platform, backed by premium customer service, positions the company to unlock a massive market opportunity.

“The atomic unit for every corporate finance workflow is a transaction that lands in a bank ledger,” said Woersching. “Very few businesses operate without using a corporate card, paying invoices, or managing employee expenses. Rho is tackling the difficult part of the equation head-on – the business banking platform infrastructure that truly integrates these connected processes – setting the company up to deliver unparalleled customer experiences.” 

Woersching’s appointment follows several recent Rho announcements, including: 

  • A new partnership and jointly branded solution with Navan, the all-in-one travel and expense super app, that helps companies simplify their finance stack and save time and money using the Rho Corporate Card. 
  • New platform capabilities, including employee mileage reimbursements, automatic duplicate invoice detection, and new in-platform enhancements featured in Rho’s 2024 Spring Release
  • Tech:NYC Founder House, a Tech:NYC initiative supported by Rho that offers early-stage tech founders in NYC free resources, coworking space, and opportunities to collaborate with peers, investors, and operators.
