Roderick Jones was educated at London and Cambridge Universities culminating in a research-based Master’s degree in medieval history. Upon graduation, he joined the Metropolitan Police in London (Scotland Yard) and was selected for the Special Branch (now counter-terrorism command).

After re-locating to San Francisco he began a PhD program at UC Berkeley picking up on previous research conducted at London University on intelligence policy and systems. At the same time, he conducted consulting work for a start-up company based in Boston. In 2005, Roderick left UC Berkeley to help found Concentric Solutions, which is the primary provider of security and intelligence to a variety of innovative companies and individuals. In this role he has been able to design intelligence systems to fit into non-traditional needs and predict new threats, which is what drew him to examine a variety of new technologies and methodologies. This innovative work has led to a variety of consulting projects with the Department of Defense and the Office of Director of National Intelligence within the United States.
Currently Roderick is CEO of Concentric Advisors, which provides a variety of intelligence driven security solutions to private sector clients.
