Early in his career, Todd C. Bleeker, Ph.D., built shrewd customer service solutions for P&G, pioneered new technologies to revolutionize the transportation logistics systems for Fingerhut, shaped the disease management tools for United Healthcare, drove the human capital procurement vision to an internationalized, commercial-grade, global solution for itiliti (now PeopleClick), and as the CTO for IPCS, managed all offshore software development operations in New Delhi, India while actively participating in various stateside and Canadian projects.

With over a decade of Microsoft-centric software development in his wake, Todd is regarded as an innovative, resourceful, and competitive technologist with an intense desire to excel. In his spare time, Todd loves to soak up whatever technology Microsoft is churning out and spend countless hours in Minnesota with his wife, Kathryn, and six “high energy” children: Landis, Lake, Lissa, Logan, Lawson, and Lexa.
