Bio
Todd Washowich
I have know Alex for almost 10 years. I consider him a great friend and also consider him an expert at Management Training, Public Speaking, and leadership. Having worked with Alex for the last 10 years I can say without a doubt, his character is second to none. This guy goes the extra mile for you. He has done it for me more than once. He would be an asset to ANY future employer. Given his experience, talents, and leadership abilities... he won't be on the open market for very long. Grab him while you can. I welcome any inquires from future employers.

Alex has a way with words and an impeccable ability to deliver information to any audience. His drive for success is admirable and he would be an asset to any organization that is privileged to have him.

Working with the talented and gifted teams of the Atlanta Symphony, Alliance Theatre and High Museum is an amazing experience. There is so much dedication and passion for the arts and it has allowed me to be more connected to this organization each and every day.My role is to oversee the recruitment and on-boarding of new employees to the organization, across all Arts Partners. I provide support for all members of the team in areas of management, leadership, communication and conflict resolution through engaging and thoughtful workshops. At times, I will conduct one-on-one sessions to support the continued growth for the individual, the department and the organization.As we implemented Workday campus-wide, I created and will continue to create modules for the UX to connect the team to the operations of the new database.The Woodruff Arts Center is a place to connect, learn and be a part of something special in Atlanta. Whether it's the sounds of the orchestra, being moved by a production on stage or traversing the galleries at the High Museum, we hope to connect and inspire future generations. Show less
