Houston

For the past 20 years, Todd has been a leader in sales and management for international stone materials manufacturers and distributors out of his hometown of Houston, Texas. His decades of experience selling all types of natural and manufactured stone across various commercial segments including multi-family, medical, restaurants, and sports stadiums, made the transition into porcelain a seamless one. As the Director of Business Development for Commercial at Moderno Porcelain Works, Todd is focused on growing the commercial division across the US. Todd’s solution-oriented approach and his commitment to providing the highest level of customer service make him the ideal person to lead the commercial business development charge for Moderno. Todd graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Texas State University and can be found most of the time away from work golfing with his son and spending time with his friends and family.

Following a full career as a Senior Marketing Director, Mr. Alvarez brings over 20 years of experience in brand strategy and the construction industry. Always ambitious and creative, it was after learning about the technology behind large-format porcelain that he quickly fell in love with the surfacing industry. What he appreciates most is how porcelain can be delivered from project conception to completion in days, not weeks, compared to natural stone. Priding himself most on building and managing relationships, Mr. Alvarez now focuses on business development with Moderno. He finds inspiration in the quote by filmmaker James Cameron, “If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s successes.” Every day, his goal is to read, learn, and continue satisfying Moderno’s clients to the fullest extent. In addition to being an avid mountain biker and soccer fanatic (who cheers on Manchester United, Juventus, and Real Madrid), he loves spending time with his wife and two daughters.
