This intrinsic knowledge allows him to pay homage to the company’s deep-rooted heritage, while seamlessly accelerating Reebok into its next chapter.

    Todd is devoted to cultivating the forward-thinking and risk-taking foundation that Reebok was built on nearly 130 years ago, creating a culture that couples one of the most iconic, most recognizable sports brands with a start-up mentality and energy. What sets Todd apart as a leader, however, is his ability to inspire Reebok’s team to keep the product as the heartbeat of the company through storytelling, collaboration and execution.

    Despite Reebok’s emersion into other verticals, Todd never lost site of the brand’s commitment to sport. He and his team signed break-through deals with not only first-class athletes like Allen Iverson, but also secured pivotal long-term contracts with both the NBA and NHL.

    Tapping into another important and historic vertical for Reebok, Todd’s most recent and most notable accomplishment prior to becoming CEO, was leading the explosive growth of the iconic Classic Leather and Club C shoes.

    Todd has received many accolades through his career, including Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal’s “40 Under 40 Industry Award.” He also ranked eighth on Complex Magazine’s list of the “Most Powerful People in Sneakers.” Additionally, Todd sits on the board for The Ron Burton Training Village, a non-profit organization whose mission is to train youth to achieve their purpose through an active lifestyle.

He is dedicated to living and breathing this brand purpose every day. In this vein, Todd can occasionally be found playing pickleball or shooting hoops with the Reebok team at its Boston Headquarters.
