Rob Forteath is an experienced project manager and systems-focused engineering leader with nearly three decades in software and a formal M.Sc. in Chemical & Petroleum Engineering. He has a strong track record delivering highly reliable, low-downtime backend systems—leading teams at Symantec that dramatically improved threat detection accuracy and scaled safety ratings for tens of millions of websites. Comfortable both hands-on and at the helm, Rob excels at prioritizing development effort amid competing requirements and building tight partnerships with QA and internal customers to ship stable products on schedule. His career spans principal engineering roles through to project leadership across security, cloud, and enterprise software, and he brings a pragmatic bias for measurable impact such as reducing false negatives by 60% and increasing blocked unsafe sites by 50%. Now based in Canada and currently managing projects at Tevagrow, he combines deep systems design experience with a knack for translating complex technical work into operational improvements.
