She brings a lot of expertise to the Act-On team -- software quality, testing, customer service and training, to name just a few.

Andrea has bachelor's degrees in physics and electrical engineering from Portland State University.

Rob Salzman    Founding Member of Technical Staff

Rob grew up in Talkeetna, Alaska (population: 150). Somehow, he managed to escape and see the world. Stops at Boston University & the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque led to a career in high-technology, starting at Boeing.

After an extended stint at Mentor Graphics, Rob worked for a series of smaller companies using cutting edge technologies. At Pi Systems, he helped develop one of the first pen-based computers (the Infolio). At MedicaLogic, he helped create one of the first Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. His most recent stint was at Responsys, where he helped build some of the earliest e-mail marketing services in the industry.
