Bio
Sash Dhru
I've worked with, and for, Todd for the better part of 2 decades across Evant / Manhattan and now Placecast / Emodo. Through all these years, what has always been highlighted across multiple situations and contexts is his ability to break down complex requirements and shine a light on the essence of the matter. He has the technical acumen, and a hands-on ability, to understand solutions that are of a highly technical nature, along with a strong grasp of the business drivers. Combining that with a personality that is always supportive, warm and caring you have an individual who will always be a leader and a friend. And I will always be privileged to count him as one.

Todd and I worked together for 6.5 years at Placecast and Emodo - at first in a start-up setting, then in a post-acquisition high-growth environment. Todd's ability to genuinely connect and listen to clients and team members alike allows for trusted and functional collaboration within and between companies. His management style is bottom-up. He checks in and provides help, where necessary, but he also allows for a calm atmosphere with room to think and for personal growth. Todd has been a mentor and friend throughout. I enjoyed working with him, tremendously, and will do so happily again in the future.
