I spoke with Todd this afternoon regarding due-diligence for a specialty food startup. He asked the right questions and provided insights that were smart & usable.
As a current founder himself, he truly understood the questions that exist in the early stages and was valuable in helping further define the blueprint myself & team are working from.
Importantly, he is also a great guy!
Source: Clarity Joe DiLeo Nov 17, 2014A lot of knowledge combined with a lot of energy: a great mix. Todd provided great ideas and suggestions. An extremely valuable conversation.
Source: Clarity Christian Baudry Oct 28, 2013I worked with Todd on three occasions during his seventeen years with Fairmont. He continuously applied analytical and innovative methods to produce solid and in some cases unprecedented financial gains. Specific to his efforts around beverage, he was able to reduce inventory levels, increase revenues and improve profit margins consistently.
I learned about Vinoetic pre-inception; I immediately saw Todd's expertise bundled into the business model. His forte is financial analysis and he applies that specifically to the area of beverage programs within Vinoetic. Todd has developed a way to incorporate his skills and more into a software solution for the wine trade. Based on my experience of observing his influence on such areas, I expect Vinoetic users will see the same gains if not more when it releases.
Source: LinkedIn Roger Soane Oct 8, 2012I have had the pleasure of working with Todd on a couple of occasions. He combines a passion for hospitality with a love of wine & dining culture. Todd brings a positive attitude and hard work ethic to every working day. One of Todd's strengths is the ability to combine the people side of our business with the technical side. I have no hesitation in recommending Todd as a valuable colleague and friend.
Source: LinkedIn Michael Yarr Oct 8, 2012Todd insights bring wine channel innovation to the forefront with fresh thinking and outside of the box creativity. His concepts are cutting edge and offer quick, effective return to your investment. It's rare that I see a new vision that connects the dots to valuable wine data so recommend his services on the highest level.
