Todd East, DVM
Dr. Todd East has had an entrepreneurial spirit since graduating from Michigan State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. After a couple of years as an associate veterinarian, he started his first business in 2005, East Veterinary Relief Services. This venture not only allowed him to indulge his entrepreneurial nature but also gave him the opportunity to experience multiple different practice styles, flow, and functions that helped him shape his vision for his own practice. His goal of practice ownership was realized in 2007 and he quickly applied the learnings of his previous roles including servant leadership, customer focus, medical quality, and staff empowerment. Dr. East continues to bring this entrepreneurial spirit and principle-based leadership style to his current role of Director of Veterinary Affairs at Royal Canin. Thinking beyond nutrition and leveraging industry insights that being a part of the MARS family of companies provides, Dr. East and his team strive to leverage innovation and bring value to an ever-evolving industry. Dr. East resides in Nashville, TN with his wife (also a veterinarian), son, daughter, and two dogs.
