Fractional General Counsel and trusted business advisor with 12 years in the fractional executive world. At heart, Todd is a business guy who happened to go to law school — big difference. He works with privately held, middle market businesses, equipping them to grow profitably and ultimately successfully transition the business. He first inquires of every business owner contemplating an exit: "What are you going to do day one after closing?" If they don't know, they're not ready. He sees "transactional relationship" as an oxymoron and is trying to change how his profession interacts with clients by building long-lasting, trusting and symbiotic relationships. He is known as the consigliere — the connector who brings people together and sees cross-pollination opportunities where others continue to operate ineffectively in silos.
