“Glenn has been a great partner to Theatro and someone I've had the pleasure of working with the past 3 years. Glenn brings a positive high energy level to everything he is focused on achieving and provides the leadership needed to execute and deliver on TSC's strategic initiatives. We've been part of several successful projects with Tractor Supply the last few years and, under Glenn's leadership, he has been able to rally large groups, partners and TSC team members alike, to come together to deliver complex solutions on time to maximize the benefit for Tractor Supply. Glenn has a straight forward collaborative approach that is very effective and I'm sure is the reason he has so many strong partnerships!”
