Amy Stevens

Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Tidelands Health

In my career, I’ve found that marketing VPs and CIOs are something akin to oil and water. Very often, we just don’t mix. That’s not the case with Dr. Todd Rowland. From our first meeting shortly after Todd joined the senior team at Tidelands Health, I realized I had found a partner and friend. Todd is a thoughtful, inquisitive, kind and visionary leader. He encourages and challenges without ever seeming demanding or condescending. I learned a great deal working with Todd, and I am proud of what we accomplished together. He has keen insight into the importance of consumerism and is a champion for removing barriers that impede superior customer service. In short, Todd is a big-idea thinker who is also grounded in reality. It’s a refreshing and all-too-rare combination.
