John Stallé
Early in my career as a strategist, Todd gave me a piece of advice that has stuck with me ever since. We were reviewing a client presentation that I was going to lead, and he said,
Garrett Bruster
Todd is an excellent leader and a versatile marketer. He has the innate ability to cut through noise and get right to the heart of something. If it’s a client’s business problem, Todd will work diligently to find pragmatic solutions he can explain confidently. If it’s a presentation, Todd has a way to make it simpler, more effective, and convey sharper perspective. There were countless times where Todd worked with me sharpen my focus, simplify my explanation, or clarify my meaning. Todd has long-term vision. He’s excellent at seeing what’s necessary for a company’s long-term growth beyond their immediate needs. He’s been in the industry for a long time and knows that fads come and go, but steady and smart strategic decisions over time add up to business growth in the long run. Finally, Todd is a strong, empathetic leader. He always worked closely with me, making sure he was available for discussion if I needed help or to share his thinking if I needed a strategic perspective. The success and personal fulfillment of his team members is very important to him, and he demonstrates that consistently with his words and his actions.
