Management
Rod Russell, President and CEO
Rod brings extensive experience to the leadership of
Vevex Corporation. A visionary and proven team builder, he has many years'
experience bringing appropriate technology to commercial enterprises.
Rod is an experienced woodworker and hold Canada Interprovincial
certification as a journeyman carpenter. He managed a general contracting
firm operating in the Northwest Territories for seven years, engaged in
residential and commercial construction. The firm operated a woodworking
shop in Yellowknife which turned out cabinets, pre-fabricated building
components, general millwork - and yes, the occasional packing box.
Over the past two decades Rod has immersed himself in
Vancouver's high-tech sector, and for several years worked as a consulting
business analysts, software architect and developer. Much of his work
focused on systems for customer relationship management - managing the
sales and customer service processes. Clients included Royal Lepage Commercial
Real Estate, BC Gas, and Tech Corp.
Rod holds an undergraduate degree in Computer Sciences
and Philosophy from University of Saskatchewan, and has completed computer-related
course work at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, University of
Alberta, and Simon Fraser University.
in 1999 Rod's software consulting firm, TeamMate Solutions
Inc., was purchased by startup eXcape Business Transactions, Inc. Rod
joined the eXcape executive as VP Solution Development and lead a team
of six developers in designing and building a wireless point of sale solution
for taxis. Built on Schlumberger wireless handheld device the solution
combines real-time electronic credit card authorization and electronic
draft capture with Interac-compliant debit card acceptance, and knits
it into existing business systems with web-based reporting. The system
has been certified by the Interac consortium and is currently deployed
in hundreds of taxis in Montreal, Toronto and other centers.
At Vevex Rod draws on a lifetime of experience as an
innovator, visionary, motivator and coordinator in launching new projects
and ventures. As assistant general manger of the First Arctic Winter Games
he formulated much of the policy that has shaped this international biannual
circumpolar athletic event, and was instrumental in recruiting and building
the volunteer host infrastructure. As coordinator for the first three
years of Folk on the Rocks Music Festival in Yellowknife, Rod communicated
a vision to his community and rallied it to the huge effort required to
make the event an ongoing reality. |
