Todd Cryblskey

Since joining Ankura 14 years ago, Todd has contributed, in varying roles, to several business solutions and data analytics projects in high profile mass tort litigations.

Todd led the design and implementation of a web-based claims processing system that has received over nine million claims and paid out over $21 billion dollars. This system has revolutionized the industry and significantly reduced claim review transparency and processing time. He is recognized by his peers and the client as a trust claims processing expert. He is regularly consulted on how to handle unique claim issues.

Todd served as the chief architect and developer for a claimant matching process. The process imports weekly updates of fragmented, disparate claimant information from multiple sources. After data cleaning and normalization, the process matches to new and existing records within and across law firms utilizing multiple matching strategies. It is designed to remember decisions on previous positive and false matches and link the matched records together for reporting. The resulting reports have been instrumental to our client in negotiating settlements for its matter.

Todd served as the technical team lead for the data analytics group responsible for providing court mandated public and internal reporting for a large high profile automotive matter. The team created daily and weekly reports based on custom analytics for internal and external clients used to track progress against court mandated requirements.

Todd currently serves as the technical manager for a number of specialized teams within the TES group.
