How We Got Here

After 20 years of designing, developing, and implementing the ROMEO research management system from the ground up, CEO Gord McDonald understands the cycle of a successful business and research center.

In 2018, Gord and his team successfully merged Process Pathways with a large US-based Solutions company, and since then he has set his sights on ensuring the Canadian research and small business industries continue to fully utilize evolving research technology investments.

He saw a need for an independent, trustworthy consultant, who could guide small businesses, research university teams, and centers through their projects while streamlining access to vendor solutions. Gord has a worldwide network of top university research experts and small business consultants that IACO is able to utilize while working with our clients.
