A pioneer in the SaaS enablement space, OpSource was named to Deloitte's Fast 50 in October 2005 as the 5th fastest growing technology company in North America.

Over the past decade, Mr. Rowell has held senior management positions with leading hosting, telecommunications, and Internet services companies. He has extensive experience building, operating, and managing complex global IT infrastructure systems that are able to scale to meet dynamic business requirements.
