Biography

Modern web browsers are more than powerful enough to run your interactive content, and with Verold's tools and Interactive Content Engine, your team can build once, and deploy to web, mobile, smart TV, and consoles. Your media strategy, evolved.

Prior to Verold, Ross was the Co-founder & CTO for web platform startups Moso and Fadow, and spent six years with IBM R&D, working on next generation e-Commerce platforms. He holds an MBA from the Rotman School at the University of Toronto and an MSc in Computing from Queen’s University.
