This is the second time I have the privilege to work with Rod. His extensive global experience has undoubtedly given him the edge and the strategic vision which his leadership style displays on a day to day basis. A true leader in his vision, passion, ability to see the big picture and get people engaged and driving forward together towards a mutual goal.

An aspect for me that stands out with Rod was his 'end-to-end' value and supply chain knowledge... clear and concise understanding of each component, and, the ability to actively listen and collaborate with an individual or party who was trying to bring value to the business. Over a five year period we collaborated to establish a dynamic, transparent and agile business model to Asia to meet the ever changing needs of customers and consumers and build a level of trust, it also helped build the foundations of our reputations in these markets and established a business with revenues exceeding several million dollars. I respected, confided in and counted on Rod's opinion in our business even in disputes, and hope one day, should we be working in the same industry that we will have the opportunity to collaborate again soon.
