Since its founding, SecondMuse has reached 192 countries and territories, prototyped over 43,000 ideas for innovative solutions and supported more than 2,400 ventures. These supported ventures have in turn raised over $2 billion in additional funding, during and after their involvement with SecondMuse programs.
The company is a manifestation of Todd’s impassioned belief that economic and social systems can be built inclusively and not at the expense of human dignity or the health of the planet. To test his theories and gain a deeper understanding of how to build and execute better systems, Todd earned a medical degree from the University of New Mexico, spent years developing a range of businesses, and co-founded SecondMuse in 2008. He is proud to serve on the Board of Directors of TechSoup Global.
Todd regularly advises corporate executives, senior governmental leaders and heads of foundations around the world. He has delivered keynote presentations to leading organizations and government bodies about building resilient economies and the roles of communities and entrepreneurship in that process. Some of Todd’s most notable presentations were delivered to the United Nations General Assembly, Bolivia's Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society, the World Bank, and the US Bank.
