Todd's experience, passion for Dolby and visionary leadership make him the ideal choice for our CMO role, said Dolby President and CEO Kevin Yeaman. I am excited about Todd's passion and ability to accelerate our success as we continue to bring spectacular experiences to more people around the world.

As CMO of Samsung North America, Pendleton led the brand's transformation and repositioned the mobile business. The Samsung Galaxy was relaunched, linking the brand to cultural moments and giving it a new voice and story. This resulted in record growth for its mobile business, becoming the fastest growing social brand and delivering four-fold domestic revenue growth in less than four years.

Most recently, at his marketing firm Defi/9 - a first of its kind holistic marketing and creative solutions company - Todd developed innovative strategies and campaigns enabling new ways to connect with consumers and drive business growth for a range of industries and initiatives including Roc Nation, Tidal, LeEco, and Bono's Revo sunglass line and philanthropic program.
