Todd was developing user-centered software before it was trendy. At NCR, he sought out usability for his product and he was innovative in the approach to the application design, making sure it improved the user experience. Just as importantly, Todd was a great team builder. He brought people together at NCR across organizational boundaries and built a highly collaborative (and innovative) team.

Todd was a terrific boss. From the day I started he made me feel like I had been with the team for years. He was very energetic, and could easily excite everyone in the room and get them psyched up for a project, even if they were having a bad day. Todd treats the people that work under him as his equal, so I never felt like a grunt or fifth wheel. He’s a great person to work for, and more importantly, work with.
