Todd Budde
Todd began his career at ThrottleNet as our first vCIO, and his work continues to be the inspiration for that position today. His previous experience as a senior Windows administrator, his easy-going personality, and his dedication to acting in the best interest of each client made him ideal for the role. Todd currently oversees our Managed Services division, and when he's not doing that, he enjoys tinkering with his home automation and gadgets to the point where he constantly has to retrain the family on how to turn on the lights. He has a way-better-than-average sneaker collection and enjoys NASCAR and the Saint Louis Blues. Todd's coworkers might describe him as a bit of a detail-oriented perfectionist continually seeking new ideas that make ThrottleNet a better partner for our customers. Just a bit.
