Mr. Broste brings over 12 years of IT related experience, from Tier 1 phone support, Computer Instructor and Engineer, to the Project Manager for the build of one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. Previously working at Sandia Laboratories, Los Alamos Laboratories, and Lawrence Livermore Laboratories before joining Sequestered Solutions, Todd bridges the gap between Engineer and CEO with confidence, and brings a strong customer service focus to his work at Sequestered Solutions. “IT providers need to have the best customer service skills because so few of their customers really understand the product. To the average consumer, we are selling a type of magic…We are wizards when it works and cursed at when it doesn’t and it’s how we take care of them as customers that keeps them believing in the magic.”
