Todd is exceptional at challenging assumptions and ways of thinking. I discovered new ways of thinking and applied learnings in both a personal and professional setting. The slingshot effect is powerful and exciting. I explored untouched areas where I didn’t dare to examine earlier. Now, I am driven for more, and comfortable about future possibilities and opportunities.

I learn something every time we talk.

Todd crafted a bespoke package that provided exceptional attention to detail, offering bursts of astonishments that grow into long-lasting life changing outcomes.

The service is not a standard cookie-cutter approach—instead, an elegant, eloquent delivery to the highest standard with proven results in an effortless manner.

Todd fundamentally and positively improved the internal audit function and – by extension – the control environment of one of the largest mining companies in the world. Todd’s greatest skills lie in taking the ordinary to the extraordinary. He engages the unengaged. He inspires the uninspired. If you are seeking someone that will fundamentally and positively transform your risk, audit and governance processes and functions I can think of no better person than Todd.

Todd provided me with solid advice when I was developing a new Internal Audit strategy, methodologies, and quality assurance programmes. Todd’s expertise is deeply ingrained in the processes that Internal Audit function now undertakes. His valuable, professional and diligent contribution was welcomed by new Internal Audit team, and he is highly respected.

Todd is the only Australian on the top 10 thought leaders of the decade list. I am always inspired by his insightful articles and social media posts.

Todd has been an active member and substantial contributor to the business of the council. Todd’s skills (especially in the areas of risk and audit) were invaluable to the Council during its review of the first edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

He has a wonderful ability to ask deep and strategic questions to ensure the organisation was as effective and innovative as possible. If you want to make your organisation great, get Todd on your board!

When I joined Salesforce, Todd was top of my list for IA advisory services even though he was based in Australia and I'm in Dallas. Why? Because it is rare to find somebody who can provide the Audit Committee Chair view, but is also willing and able to 'get into the weeds'. He brought innovative, fit-for-purpose solutions every step of the way and has delivered true value and impact to our team.

Todd represents the rare breed of advisor that routinely questions the current status quo and continues to search and help clients search for more effective approaches to risk and assurance management.

Still, to this day, and when facing difficult situations, I find myself asking, “I wonder what Todd would say?”, “what would he do?” It’s not often that you get to work with somebody who has had such a profound impact on you. I thank Todd for his leadership, his wise counsel, and his passion for making others successful – a true inspiration and somebody I will talk about to others for the rest of my career!

Todd is a thought leader with deep insights into the professional practice of internal auditing. I have great respect for him as a person and a professional. When Todd moves on from his position with the IIA Australia, it will be a loss not only for Australia but the global profession. He adds a lot.

I worked closely with Todd when he was a member of the Professional Issues Committee of the Institute of Interenal Auditors. Todd is extremely insightful on risk, assurance, and goverance topics.

Todd is approachable, practical and responsive. His knowledge is second to none.

I sat on the ASX Corporate Governance Council with Todd for six years. He was always extremely committed, enthusiastic, totally across his area of expertise and, most importantly on such a serious forum, fun.

“Todd is a top-shelf director who combines deep insight, amazing networks and compelling narrative to drive organisational performance. On his watch, the ACF has moved from strength to strength.

You are well respected by the board, committee our internal audit team and management, earned by dedication and active participation, As Chair you provided strong leadership direction and support. I appreciate how generous you have been with your time and knowledge sharing.

I had a chance to collaborate with Todd and to benefit greatly from his thought leadership for the internal audit profession. His work specifically in Australia now resonates on a much larger scale and inspires internal audit thought leaders globally. I am blessed to have Todd among my connections and I wish many will have the chance to work with this highly respected professional.

Your contribution over the 8 years has been phenomenal. I know as I was there for most of it. I learned so much from you and I think the organisation is in a better place largely due to you keeping us on the straight and narrow but with a practical and commercial approach.

Todd is, in my opinion, one of the pre-eminent global thought leaders on internal audit, risk management and corporate governance.

He did an excellent job of outlining ways to identify and prepare for Black Swans and suggested a practical framework to help remove some of your organization’s blind spots. I was so impressed by his thought provoking comments that I mentioned him and his presentation during my keynote address.

The Board is most appreciative of the wise and energetic guidance you have given.

Your commitment to driving substantial improvement in the Board’s leadership, effectiveness and performance has played a major role in ACF achieving the high standards of governance and strategic and fiduciary oversight that it has today.

It has been a delight working with you. We have been a good team and had a lot of fun along the way, but I have also learned a lot from you.

Todd is extremely knowledgeable and can provide a wealth of relevant and useful pointers for enhancing both the way your audit and risk functions go about their business and how to best present that business most effectively and advantageously to the ARC/Board.
