Agent Recommendation

Todd is not the brash, over-bearing financier his Wall Street to White House CV suggests. He uses a host of unconventional analogies to explain what’s going on in the markets, geopolitics and economics. Mix this with unbridled enthusiasm for business, sharp intelligence and delivery bordering on stand-up. You can expect lessons from history, politics and showbusiness.
