Todd is a certified coach from Leadership that Works, a member of the Young Entrepreneurs Council, a Wilderness First Responder, and frequent writing contributor to Forbes.
Todd holds an MBA and a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, although he counts his entrepreneurial journey as his best education.
“As a CFO who has worked with technology startups over the last 25 years, I have attended a lot of off-sites, and this was by far the best off-site facilitation I have ever seen. Norian and Todd helped our team connect deeply as people, not just as coworkers, creating a foundation of trust that is already paying dividends as we build our company at a blinding pace. Our leadership team could not be more pleased with both the process and the outcome, and we will definitely be doing more work with Evolution in the future.”
“Before working with Todd, I frequently beat myself up over difficult but uncomfortable or difficult decisions. After I had more acceptance and empathy, for both myself and those affected.”
“Todd helps me define what I want from my work and my life, then helps me stay true to my desires and not veer off course, despite a plethora of opportunities to do so. He is the person who keeps me true to myself & my dreams, which was something I’ve never had before. I am grateful to have him in my corner.”
“Before we started working together, I was quickly moving into a leadership role with very little guidance or coaching to help me along the way. This was challenging for me because i was learning how to lead as I went and by myself. Working with Todd has allowed me to exponentially grow as a leader and ensure that my team has what they need from me to be successful. It has pushed me to think differently and work through tough problems that I have had. Todd has kept me accountable to my growth and leadership goals which in turn means that my team has benefited from this too.”
