Shane Caniglia

The Rich Dad Company, a financial education company, sought out Shane Caniglia  to spearhead technology initiatives that they had never tackled before.  Rich Dad, Poor Dad series author, Robert Kiyosaki, and his wife, Kim, realized that serving financial literacy to the masses took an application of technology that did not exist in their company at that time. Creative content development was stymied by traditional forms of distribution.

The Rich Dad Company’s unique operating dynamic required a director of technology who was an entrepreneur who understood and used the potential of technology and experienced first-hand the principles of mission-driven team building and management.  Shane Caniglia’s track record of business building exceeded the company’s expectations.

Prior to joining The Rich Dad Company, Caniglia served as a founding shareholder of a number of technology companies, most notably, as founder of Paqfast, Inc.  Paqfast was one of the first small parcel shippers to develop and utilize technology to partner with the United States Postal Service.  Success was achieved by negotiating aggressive pricing discounts based on the ability to substantially improve the logistical process associated with the handling of direct-to-consumer parcels. While with Paqfast, Caniglia crafted systems integration that allowed the company to physically handle and deliver over 15 million small packages a year. In less than three and a half years after its formation, Caniglia also helped Paqfast, through effective leadership and management of 320 employees in six facilities, to earn annual revenues of more than $47 million. Paqfast was acquired by Parcel Direct, which was later acquired by Federal Express, in 2004

Under Caniglia’s direction, the Rich Dad Company has invested over $1.5 million in new technology to push the Rich Dad brand further than it has ever gone before. Caniglia has helped the company to dramatically increase the performance of websites, social media applications and back-end data capture.
