Fifty years at the intersection of technology, sales, and marketing — from the frontline of the DTP Revolution through the early web, Big Data, 3D tech, and streaming becoming the new broadcasting. Now encompassing sustainable AgriTech and innovative tech for education and entertainment in developing communities. Geof Todd has spent his career identifying where the next wave is breaking — and building the commercial engine to ride it.
Geof Todd has spent fifty years at the intersection of the business of technology, sales, and marketing — present at, and often leading, the commercial charge through each of the industry's defining revolutions. His career began at an Apple DTP reseller, on the frontline of the Desktop Publishing Revolution Apple had ignited — the moment personal computing stopped being a hobbyist's tool and started dismantling entire industries. Geof was not inside Apple; he was out in the market, carrying the revolution to real buyers before most organisations knew they needed it. That instinct — to be at the commercial edge of a seismic shift, early — became the defining pattern of his career. From there he moved to Silicon Graphics, riding the wave of the World Wide Web, Big Data, and the emergence of 3D technology as a serious commercial force.
The next chapter was NDS — a global leader in digital television security and interactive media — where he spent over eleven years as Director of Sales and New Business Initiatives. At NDS, Geof was not watching the shift from broadcast to streaming; he was inside it, building the commercial architecture that made it real. Operating at CEO level, he delivered significant revenue, closed deals requiring both deep technical fluency and long-built relationship credibility, and demonstrated what he has demonstrated at every stage: that the best technology in the world still requires human conviction and commercial discipline to actually move.
He then stepped into emerging streaming media, serving as CMO at KRZANA HG Ltd — an exercise in taking a genuinely novel search intelligence platform to market before the market had a category for it — and as VP of Sales at Quiptel, where he applied the same conviction that streaming was not a trend but a structural replacement for broadcast. He was right.
"Purpose first, then proof." — That is the discipline Geof brings to every engagement. Innovation born of insight and experience, not borrowed frameworks.
In 2011, Geof founded TODD Creative Services Ltd, his independent practice based in Surrey. The firm works with a broad range of both clients and partners to deliver new insights, new methods, and new products — bringing together experience in innovation, sales, marketing, and design to take ideas from concept to commercial reality. The work is end-to-end: strategy and storytelling first, then production, then the market-facing execution that makes the story land. His clients span arts organisations, creative agencies, and technology companies that need more than a vendor — they need a thinking partner who has actually carried a number.
TODD Creative Services operates with a clear philosophy: Stop the Scroll. In a world drowning in content, the discipline of high-impact video and photography — event coverage, audience-facing communications, social-native cuts — is not creative indulgence. It is the commercial infrastructure of any brand trying to earn attention. Geof builds that infrastructure. Then he helps clients use it.
In 2023, he joined the board of inQube as a Non-Executive Director — winner of the 2023 AgriTech Innovation Award — enabling sustainable technology for food security and regenerative farming across developing economies. And as an Associate at AiStream.tv, he now also encompasses the frontier of applied AI and innovative tech solutions delivering education and entertainment to developing communities. The through-line across all of it is consistent: technology that does something real in the physical world for real people, not just in the cloud.

From Surrey, Geof runs TODD Creative Services as his primary vehicle — working across time zones with clients who need commercial clarity around their story and the production capability to express it. His days move between the boardroom logic of inQube's agricultural mission, the frontier work at AiStream.tv, and the ground-level craft of helping organisations make content that stops people mid-scroll. It is a wide range. He handles it by keeping the core discipline constant: understand what the organisation is actually trying to accomplish, then build the narrative and the sales architecture around that — not the other way round.
That discipline — purpose first, then proof, never dress up an unclear idea in expensive production — is exactly what connects fifty years in technology, sales, and creative services to a seat at Tymmber's advisory table. Tymmber is asking the outdoors to carry a very large idea: that time in nature recalibrates human beings, and that if you get enough people genuinely outside, you change communities. Geof has spent his career making large ideas legible to the market. That conversation was always going to happen.
