On $|z|\geq\rho$, put $w=1/z$, so $|w|\leq1/\rho$. The Taylor <polynomials>
$$
f_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{w^k}{k!}
$$
converge uniformly there to $e^w$. Moreover
$$
|e^w|=e^{\Re w}\geq e^{-1/\rho}.
$$
For all sufficiently large $n$, the uniform error is below half this lower bound, so $|f_n(z)|>0$ whenever $|z|\geq\rho$. Every zero therefore lies in $|z|<\rho$.
