Bio
Craig Maze
Todd and I worked in the same group at H-P. His problem solving skills were unique and effective. His ability to work effectively with different groups and individuals is also a valuable asset that will serve him well throughout his career.

Todd is a true asset to UW's Center for Commercialization. I've had the pleasure of working with him on starting up a large corporate sponsored research center on campus over a period of 1.5 years, and have been consistently impressed by his business acumen, strategic planning, intelligence, and the detailed oriented and thorough nature of everything he does. Without his help, we simply would not have made it very far; he has been absolutely critical to our success. Todd is organized and trustworthy, with impeccable work ethic, and just the type of person you need on your side when attacking complex university-industry collaborations and relationships. We are very lucky to have him here.
