Todd, Area Vice President, shares his “why” behind Qualtrics
A purpose drives me to support my family. My wife Kari of 27 years and I love spending time with our three children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, our dogs River, Roxy, Mavric, and Pooch-in-Law "Goose." We also greatly value our friendships with our close friends and work hard to make time to stay close to them and their families.
