Tod Turner, CEO and Chairman

Tod Turner has been involved with the software development business for more than 25 years.  This is his 5th start-up company, having sold the last company to be able to dedicate his full time efforts to LINQWARE. He has served in leadership roles as President and CEO of Fox Industries, CEO and Chairman of Norfox Software, and as an advisor to numerous other software startups in both the consumer and business product spaces. During that time he has brought more than 50 software products to commercialization. Because of the depth of Tod’s experience and his acute awareness of marketplace trends, he has been able to guide companies to commercial success, both with business and military customers. Tod began his career as a software development engineer, and his grasp of the engineering process is a critical component in his ability to commercialize software into scalable solutions. Coupled with his degree in finance from the University of Washington, the combined experiences have been key factors in understanding the financial implications of product development and distribution.

Tod has spoken at the MIT forum on international business, and is a guest speaker for the masters program in the business school for entrepreneurship at the University of Washington Bothell Campus. He is also on the board of the University of Washington Business School Advisory Council, and holds a Commercial Real Estate Brokers License.
