Today, Governor Kevin Stitt announced the departure of Chief Operating Officer Rick Rose, who also served as the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES). Prior to joining OMES, he served as chief of staff to former Speakers of the House T.W. Shannon and Charles McCall. His last day with the agency will be September 26, 2025.
“I’m grateful for Director Rose’s service to Oklahoma,” said Governor Stitt. “I appreciate his work to help modernize state government and make it work better for the people. I wish him the best as he transitions back to the private sector.”
Director Rose expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to serve. “It has been an honor to work alongside Governor Stitt, the other state agencies, and the team at OMES to deliver meaningful improvements for Oklahoma. I am proud of the progress the OMES team achieved during my tenure. I truly appreciate the Governor’s leadership on reducing the size of government and making it work better for the people.”
An interim director of OMES will be named in the coming days.
