Under his leadership, TotalSource became the fastest growing, as well as the largest, professional employer organization in the industry. Rodriguez then served as president of ADP's Small Business Services, which included ADP’s small business payroll services, ADP TotalSource, and ADP Retirement Services. Under his leadership, ADP Small Business Services launched the “RUN Powered by ADP®” payroll management service, which has become one of ADP’s fastest growing product platforms.

 Rodriguez holds master of business administration and bachelor of arts degrees from Harvard University.
