About Randy Perkins

A Career Built on High-Stakes Deals and Global Vision

Randy Perkins is a seasoned commercial strategist and advisor with a distinguished career in selling high-value capital equipment to some of the world's most demanding buyers. That foundation — understanding complex sales cycles, decision-maker psychology, and technical value propositions — now underpins a broader advisory practice that spans US government contracting, AI-driven energy technology, and cross-border investment.

Based in Dubai and operating across US markets, Randy brings a rare dual perspective: the commercial instincts of an enterprise sales veteran combined with the strategic reach of a globally mobile advisor. As a minority partner in a certified US 8(a) firm, he is actively navigating federal contracting opportunities and establishing himself as a government contracts consultant — helping other companies unlock the world's largest procurement market.

He also works at the frontier of applied AI, consulting across energy, defense, and aerospace sectors on the development and deployment of physics-based AI solutions.

Unlocking the World's Largest Procurement Market

The US federal government spends over $700 billion annually on contracts. For companies with the right positioning and strategy, this represents an extraordinary — and often overlooked — revenue opportunity.

This positions RP Investments to provide both direct contracting support and external consulting to companies seeking to navigate the federal marketplace.

Priority areas of focus include opportunities with the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), and other federal agencies actively seeking innovative technology and service providers — including in AI, energy, and engineering sectors.

AI & Technology

Physics-Based AI: From Energy Fields to Defense Frontiers

Randy Perkins works with an AI startup that has developed a physics-based AI platform currently deployed in the oil & energy sector. Unlike conventional machine learning, physics-based AI incorporates the laws of physics into model architecture — delivering superior accuracy, generalisation, and interpretability for safety-critical applications.

While the platform has proven value across multiple industries, the greatest commercial frontier lies in US government and defense applications — where the need for trustworthy, explainable AI is acute and procurement budgets are substantial.
