John Rinaldi, is Chief Strategist, Business Development Manager and CEO of Real Time Automation (RTA) in Brookfield WI. After escaping from Marquette University with a degree in Electrical Engineering (graduating cum laude no less) John worked in various jobs in the Automation Industry before once again fleeing back into the comfortable halls of academia. At the University of Connecticut he once again talked his way into a degree, this time in Computer Science (MS CS). John achieved marginal success as a Control Engineer, a Software Developer and IT Manager before founding Real Time Automation because "long term employment prospects are somewhat bleak for loose cannons". With a strong desire to avoid work, responsibility and decision making, John had to build a great team at Real Time Automation. And he did. RTA now supplies network converters for industrial and building automation applications all over the world. With a focus on simplicity, US Support, fast service, expert consulting and tailoring for specific customer applications, RTA has become a leading supplier of gateways worldwide. John freely admits that the success of RTA is solely attributed to the incredible staff that like working for an odd, quirky company with a single focus: "Create solutions so simple to use, the hardest part of their integration is opening the box."

約翰·里納爾迪（John Rinaldi）是位於威斯康辛州布魯克菲爾德的即時自動化公司（Real Time Automation, RTA）的首席策略師、業務發展經理和首席執行官。約翰在馬凱特大學（Marquette University）獲得電機工程學位（還是以優異的成績畢業），之後在自動化行業的各種工作中工作，然後再次逃回學術界的舒適殿堂。在康乃爾大學（University of Connecticut），他再次憑藉口才獲得了計算機科學碩士學位（MS CS）。約翰作為控制工程師、軟體開發人員和IT經理取得了一定的成功，然後創立了即時自動化公司，因為「長期就業前景對於不受控制的人來說有些黯淡」。由於強烈渴望避免工作、責任和決策，約翰必須在即時自動化公司建立一支優秀的團隊，而他做到了。RTA現在為全球的工業和建築自動化應用提供網路轉換器。RTA專注於簡單性、美國支援、快速服務、專業諮詢以及針對特定客戶應用的定制，已成為全球領先的閘道供應商。約翰坦言，RTA的成功完全歸功於那些喜歡為這家古怪、特立獨行的公司工作的出色員工，這家公司只有一個焦點：「創造使用起來如此簡單的解決方案，以至於它們整合過程中最困難的部分就是打開盒子。」
