Oliver is the deputy executive director of administration and chief financial officer for the VPA. In this role he is responsible for all administrative aspects of the agency including finance, human resources, information technology, and contracts and real estate.
“Rodney is a highly-respected individual, both inside and outside the organization,” said Michael Quillen, chairman of the VPA board. “Moreover, during his 13 years with the VPA he has demonstrated a personal dedication to the organization and to the growth of this port.
“I’ll also point out his knowledge of the port’s finances, his experience in working with the other deputies and his reputation among the VPA’s employees as factors in the decision we made here today (Sept. 25).”
Oliver was a member of the engagement team on the long-term lease of the APM Terminal in Portsmouth; he led seven debt issuances totaling $500 million; established a Master Equipment Lease Program providing an additional $100 million in capital funding for port projects; and led the transition to an outsourcing of the agency’s IT function.
