Rod McLaren

Product Development and Tech Support

I started in the auto trade way back in 1986 when I was just 24 years old. I worked at "The Horseless Carriage" auto accessory store for the man who went on to create Autobarn, Amos Bush. After that I spent several more years in retail working for Brashes before becoming a sales rep for both GE and AKAI. I began to work as a 12 volt auto accessory installer in the early 90's and from there began importing products from the United States and Asia to supply direct to the new car trade. I have a great passion for bringing modern automotive electronic accessories to market, especially the kind that can really help people. It's true that in this modern age dashcams have become an essential item to help... all of us protect ourselves. I’m a firm believer in customer service and what it really means, not just the throw away lines. I’m the head of technical support for Vueroid and I’m the person you call when you need help. 
I love what I do and I get to speak to so many wonderful people in my job. At home I have two bunnies, Junior and Bailley as well as a Pugalier called Ollie who thinks he’s a rabbit as he spends all his Xme with them.

I’ve been in the automotive industry for over 30 years ago selling a range of Aftermarket products including Dash Cams.

And I have a BPO business offshore helping people grow their business’s. Like Henry Ford, I understand the power of surrounding myself with experts in their fields. I like to instil a sense of ownership, pride in association and an unrivalled connection to do my best for the good of the team. 
I strive to always be an ethical leader and provide outstanding service to all my employees and customers

Lisa Keenan

Scheduler and Accounts

I’ve been an accounts lady for over 25 years and worked with Erika for over 20 of those and with Vueroid since its inception! 
I’m the go to person for bookings, accounts, invoicing and ordering….and pretty much the person who answers everyone’s questions. Except for tech. I’m not the tech person, that’s for sure! 
I love my job and I love our team. I’m lucky to 
have formed some great relationships at the dealerships too.
I’m family orientated and I love my sport; I’m a big footy fan as well as all water sports especially wakeboarding and skiing

Angie Schmitzer 

CMO

I’ve worked in the car trade for about 25 years before joining forces with Erika. In fact, in August 2024, I will celebrate 23 years with Erika and 8 years with Rod. I’ve been with Vueroid since the beginning. 
Workwise, I’m a people person. I started in RecepXon, then Customer Service, Sales, Sales Rep and for the last 10 years or so I have been focusing on Sales and Marketing. If you were to ask me what do I love most about my work, I’d say it’s helping others succeed and thrive!
I love the team we’ve built across our business’s including Vueroid! We are all likeminded, caring and ethical people. I think this atributes to not only our success but the longevity of our businesses. I’m really proud to be a founding member.... I have a love of photography and enjoy taking photo’s of our 20 acre farm including my family, dogs, ducks and reptiles… I’m into gardening, exercise, and camping although I do love a resort on a tropical paradise.

Martre-Gogerly

Bookings Co-Ordinator

I’m fairly new to the automotive industry from a work perspective, approximately 3.5 years. However, my upbringing was immersed in the world of vehicles, thanks to my Dad who worked as an Auto Elec. I proudly label myself as a V8 petrol head, and being married to a Car Salesman ensures that cars have always been a significant part of my life. 
I jumped at the opportunity to work with Vueroid because I’d heard really good things about the company and management (I can now confirm that personally too). So now I am officially the Bookings Co-ordinator, and I love it. It keeps me busy, I get to liaise with all types of people, have some fun with great personalities, and build meaningful relationships... Out of work, if I’m not too exhausted, I dabble in the space of creative art and up cycling furniture. I love being creative, and this allows me to be expressive. Home life consists of my husband and 3 teenagers (hence the exhaustion – hehe) and our beautiful pets, 2 dogs, and a Beardie. 

Carolyn Towel

Accounts Executive

I’ve worked with the amazing team for over 7 years and since the beginning at Vueroid. I’ve personally sold direct to customers for almost 20 years and in the industry for over 30. I love representing Vueroid as I know we have the most superior products by far. I need to believe in a product, its important to me.
I love the people I work with! I feel we are a united, close team full of likeminded, caring team members that I call my personal friends. I’ve also developed really great relationships in the industry. I feel accomplished when I help others. It gives me pride and satisfaction. 
My personal life is all about food, cooking, travel, friends, family, laughing and lots of fishing. 
I love my life!

Lee Mitchell

Accounts Executive

I recently joined although I’ve been in the industry for 20. First and foremost, I love who I’m working with! I’m so fortunate to have finally found a lovely group of people to work alongside. I love sales…..and in this role, I especially love the customer contact. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping them do their best. My biggest achievements are my sons, especially my 13 year old that was diagnosed at age 4 with Autism, ADHD, ODD, Motor Tourette’s and was extremely aggressive from lack of communication skills. I was told he’d never talk or lead a normal life. I chose to invest all that I had to give him the best opportunities. We proved everyone wrong. He now goes to a mainstream school, plays team sport, is a good communicator... and has good friendships. Its has not been an easy road and quite honestly, the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m passionate about my boys being the best versions of themselves. My other passions include Pilates, walking with my Cavoodle and animals…I’m a massive animal lover! I’m currently on maternity leave enjoying my beautiful little girl to complete our family.

Maria Lourdes Chua

Virtual Executive Assistant

I have been working with the team for almost 6 years and with Vueroid from the start and I am loving it. I do a variety of work including data entry, research and Social media content. 
What I love about Vueroid? Well, I love that they allow me to grow in every aspect of the job! They teach me things, but they also allow me to learn on my own. I love working with them because we all treat each other as family. I can talk to Angie about anything and everything under the sun. 
My passion in life is to be the best version of myself each day. I am passionate about self-development and self-improvement in my personal life. I am always looking to challenge myself and learn new things. If I do not know a thing I ask, because I believe it won’t make less of a person... if I ask and in that way I learn. I also love being a mom to my three kids, I love when they still ask me for help even though they are teenagers already.
