Eric Todd
For two decades, Eric collaborated with Grammy and Clio-winning creatives and C-suite executives in strategic development, A&R, and creative capacities. A career highlight includes a recent UN 2030 SDG music initiative consultancy to engage Gen Z.

Eric is a Wipf & Stock Books published author, a former recording artist (REX Records), composer, producer, artist manager to emerging jazz artists, Corinne and Audrey Kreitner, and founder of iProdigy.
