Rod was founder and CEO of AfterMail which was acquired by Quest Software in January 2006 AfterMail provides a new approach to Enterprise Email Management by 'Transforming Email into Enterprise Information'. See the National Business Review article "Quest snaps up Aftermail in $65m deal" for a bit of background.

Rod co-founded USA based Context Connect Incorporated which provides Directory solutions for mobile devices. Prior to this Rod was CTO of Advantage Group where he spent significant time in the USA working with leading international technology companies.

Rod has been involved in many upstart businesses over the past two decades including TradeMe and Glazier Systems (now Intergen) and is also very active in the technology community and the mentoring young technology companies.
