Industry expertise
As our conversation draws to a close , Todd reflects on his career to date : “ In addition to my work experience at Walgreens , Newell , and Colliers , I ’ ve spent over 12 years on the advisory board for three different supply chain executive groups that span around 300 companies across the University of Tennessee Global Supply Chain Institute ( GSCI ), the Supply Chain Leaders in Action ( SCLA ), and the Retail Industry Leadership Association ( RILA ). The learnings and relationships I ’ ve developed through those groups have been invaluable in advancing my progress here at Colliers .
