Meet Cohere.

Equal parts storyteller, community evangelist, and road warrior, Todd is dedicated to advancing Cohere’s mission. More than leading our company and nurturing and growing our business, it’s believing in the power of what we can achieve together in community that drives him. For Todd, it’s that simple and that rewarding. Lucky for Todd, his love of music, bikes, stylish hats, and happy hours travel well. He values humor, thoughtfulness, and kindness.

Prior to Cohere, Todd has served as Owner/President of Todd Hornback & Associates; President/CEO of Parents Anonymous of Arizona, Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits, and Scottsdale LINKS/Scottsdale Healthcare; and Associate Faculty with ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Innovation.
