The Dow Corporation founder Rodney W. Dow has been an innovator in the development of the energy futures industry for over two decades. During the course of his career, Mr. Dow has been actively involved with a number of major Wall Street firms in every aspect of the business, including sales, marketing, analysis, trading, operations, compliance, and floor brokerage. In addition to his consulting and clearing business expertise, Mr. Dow is also a Commodity Trading Advisor.

An early interest in technical analysis led him to develop Dow Vector Analysis, a technical tool used by traders for market timing and risk analysis. While at Citibank, Mr. Dow created a Futures Commission Merchant devoted exclusively to energy futures, making Citibank the first U.S. bank ever to clear a non-financial instrument.

A member of the New York Mercantile Exchange for fourteen years, he has served on numerous committees at the NYMEX and currently sits on the Electricity Advisory Committee and the Alternative Investment Committee. This depth of industry experience combined with a master's degree in psychology enables Mr. Dow to lead and guide The Dow Corporation in delivering unique value to clients.

"Real service is adding something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity."
