C. Rodney O’Connor

Experienced in almost every phase of the investment business, Rod became an early proponent and leader in “growth investing.” He founded Cameron Associates in 1976 to provide public companies with active stock marketing programs in a changing investment environment. Rod is the pioneer of a number of new concepts in the field of investor relations; he introduced measurable goals for clients such as improved trading volume, the right mix of buy-side and sell-side distribution, relative value appreciation and non-underwriter investment recommendations. Prior to founding Cameron, Rod sponsored and helped to finance companies and new industries for nearly 20 years with Kidder Peabody and Bear Stearns. Rod received a B.A. in English from Wesleyan University and earned an M.B.A. in Finance from Wharton.
