The Guidepoint Management Team

RAND MUELLER

Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder, is a pioneer in the vehicle security and gps concierge services industry and the visionary who conceived Guidepoint™. A college dropout, he quit engineering school at University of Michigan in 1967 to start the first of several automotive electronics businesses. Three decades later, he's still creating black boxes that make life safe, secure and convenient for drivers. Along the way, he founded and ran Code-Alarm, Inc., a public company that engineered some of the best-known vehicle security/concierge brands - including Code-Alarm® and Chapman® - and that built products for GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and just about every other automaker on the planet. In 1988, he developed Intercept, a vehicle tracking and recovery system based on cellular phones and LORAN, a radio-navigation system that preceded the global positioning satellite (GPS) system. "We were a decade early," Mueller says. In 1999, the convergence of the Web, wireless networks and mobile electronics got his entrepreneurial juices flowing again. He stepped aside as chief executive officer of Code-Alarm in 2000 to become the Company's "chief entrepreneurial officer" and spearhead the development of its telematics solution - which is sold today as Guidepoint™.

Tom Gafford

Chief Technology Officer, Co-founder, is the technology whiz behind Guidepoint™. An economics major at the University of Texas at Arlington, he's been involved in a number of successful telematics and dot-com enterprises. He's in charge of operations, systems engineering, service delivery, software development and emerging products. He's responsible for deploying and operating Guidepoint's IT infrastructure, including our Website, databases, computing, call center, internal systems design and support teams. Before starting Guidepoint, Tom was responsible for Emerging Businesses at @Road, Inc., a publicly traded company that focuses on fleet telematics. During his tenure at @Road, he visualized and led the initial development of "MyWeb2Go," a mobile Internet solution for companies that includes content aggregation, personal business manager, and sales productivity tools. He also developed strategic partnerships with world-leading fleet management companies and Fortune 1000 companies such as PHH, a unit of Cendant Corp.
