I have worked with Todd for three years, first as coworkers, and then reporting directly to him.
Todd is a driven individual who challenges those working with him and for him to be the best they can be. While he was my manager, he consistently set goals that challenged me to learn more and be better at my job than I was before.
Todd is results driven, but not at the expense of relationships - as a team member, I always felt my work and input were valued by Todd, and he found ways to get the best out of me while adjusting his management style to give me what I needed as an employee.
One of the best things I learned from Todd was to stop thinking of my own product from within a silo. He challenged me to begin to think about all the pieces and products that interact with DNAweb, and as I've done that it's helped me to grow in my understanding of DNAweb and all the dependencies of the product.
I would work for Todd again in a heartbeat, and I'm thankful for the time I've had to learn from Todd and grow under his leadership.
