Todd Hollenshead

Todd Hollenshead was President and CEO of id Software while the company put out some of the gaming world’s most iconic video game franchises: Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, and Rage. In addition to his software work, he is also known in the gaming community for his long hair and his role as "MC" at Quakecon, a LAN party and gaming convention in Dallas, Texas.

Hollenshead formerly worked as a tax consultant at Arthur Andersen, later joining id Software in 1996. He stayed on as President of id after it was acquired by ZeniMax in 2009, but left the company in 2013.[1]

In February 2018, Hollenshead took a leadership role at Nerve Software.[2]

In November of 2020, after almost three years at Nerve Software, Todd has taken a position as Head of Publishing at Saber Interactive. Saber Interactive is a studio on the upswing. The rapidly expanding publisher Embracer Group acquired Saber for $525 million early in 2020. This came after Saber pulled off one of the Switch’s most impressive “impossible” ports in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and released the successful World War Z game. It also works on SnowRunner, which is one of the best games of the year. And now, with the hiring of Todd Hollenshead, the studio was looking to expand its publishing business.[3][4][5]
