Please join us for our September Speaker Luncheon. This month we are excited to have Todd Brightwell as our speaker. Todd is the co-founder of Advisors Consulting Services and serves as the President and CEO. The firm was created in 2017 to leverage the experience of the founders in providing clients with location advisory and site selection services as well as public and private economic development consulting. Recently, they were awarded the contract to work as the Economic Development advisors for Utah County. With this, they have teamed up with Colliers and look to help make Utah County the premier destination for new business and to help current business in strategies for growth and development.
Before establishing Advisors Consulting Services, Todd was the COO of the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah) for more than a decade. He was primarily responsible for directing corporate recruiting and business expansion efforts and managing the State contract for recruitment services. He successfully worked with hundreds of national site selectors and corporate real estate professionals to bring valuable economic development opportunities to the State of Utah, substantially increasing both jobs and capital investment. During his time at EDCUtah, Todd also worked with hundreds of companies seeking to expand in or relocate to Utah. During the past several years, his work together with his EDCUtah colleagues has resulted in adding or retaining more than 15,000 jobs in Utah and relocating 11 headquarters. During this period, he directed numerous site selection visits. He was instrumental in nearly every deal that landed in Utah over a 10-year period. His marquee wins include Adobe, Procter and Gamble, Goldman Sachs, eBay, AMER Sports, Armada Skis, Oracle, Boeing, Hexcel, Edwards Lifesciences and West Liberty Foods.
