Rory Allgood, SBAAS’s unofficial Chief Executive Officer, is a Doberman Pinscher whose leadership style is instinctive, decisive, and unwaveringly confident. He operates with complete certainty, identifying direction, committing fully, and expecting others to follow without overthinking or hesitation.
He plays a central role in maintaining the SBAAS environment, overseeing both external security and internal operations with constant vigilance. No movement goes unnoticed, whether it is a delivery, a visitor, or activity within the office. His presence is both protective and participatory, ensuring he is always at the heart of whatever is happening.
Beyond operations, Rory’s greatest contribution lies in team wellbeing. He provides steady, wordless support during long days or challenging moments, offering comfort and reassurance in a way that strengthens morale and connection across the team. His calm, grounding presence is frequently noted by both colleagues and clients.
Rory also embodies SBAAS’s inclusive culture, warmly engaging with everyone who enters the space after a thorough sniff-based approval process. His leadership extends to what the team jokingly calls strategic rest, where his commitment to recovery is treated as a humorous but admirable model of balance.
Known as Eric’s most enthusiastic audience, Rory’s energetic reactions to jokes, possibly influenced by treat proximity, add to the team’s dynamic. Whether motivated by humour or strategy, he remains a constant, loyal, and morale-boosting presence, representing the human side of SBAAS as much as its operational spirit.
