Scott Northmore
Chief Technology Officer
Scott’s career in technology provides him with the ability to comfortably design and build the rBux platform with the support of the team he has assembled. Scott is an industry veteran with over 35 years’ experience at all levels of software development. Scott led the design and development of many software packages with Delrina (WinFax), Echolake, and Cyberjack. He also had a leading roll in MGI’s PhotoSuite and Videowave (digital camera software), and with MuskokaTech (an independent Mobile App Developer), and the PathAway Outdoor GPS Mobile App.
Scott has excellent interpersonal skills and the experience of leading teams of over 50 technology developers. Scott creates nothing but world-class finished products, whether he writes them himself or has a team working with him. Scott grew up in Bracebridge and worked for Delrina in the 90s, as Delrina went from start-up to being acquired seven years later by Symantec for $415 Million.
Scott has been involved in three major industry shifts throughout his career (some would say he impacted these shifts personally): printing, digital cameras and GPS. Now Scott is leading the evolution of commerce into social and collaborative commerce.
Scott is the CTO for two main reasons: one, he is a seasoned developer and incredibly skilled; and two, he has had a personal 20-year relationship with Bruce. During the 20 years Scott has had the opportunity to followed the development of Bruce’s vision as it has evolved from a product placement platform to a fully integrated social collaborative commerce, digital marketing & financial services platform.
Scott believes rBux has enormous potential and will provide the monetization infrastructure for the evolution into social and collaborative commerce.
