Andy Roe is a transformational leader who guided the London Fire Brigade from crisis to excellence as Commissioner from 2020-2025, combining frontline emergency experience with strategic vision for institutional reform.
As Commissioner, Andy led one of the world's largest emergency services with 6,300 staff and a £510 million budget. His background includes service as a British Army Captain and chairing the National Security Board, where he helped shape UK policy. Under his leadership, LFB progressed from special measures to become the UK's most improved fire service. In 2026, Andy was created Baron Roe of West Wickham, a recognition of his 23-year fire service career, leading post-Grenfell reforms, pandemic response, and of his current role chairing the Building Safety Regulator.
Andy helps organisations navigate high-stakes transformation by implementing effective risk management systems while preserving human judgment at their core. His approach to cultural reform, addressing embedded issues of racism and misogyny through independent review, provides a blueprint for organisations facing similar challenges. His experience steering LFB through post-Grenfell scrutiny offers valuable lessons in crisis response and rebuilding public trust.
Audiences gain practical frameworks for building resilient teams under extreme pressure, actionable strategies for anticipating organisational failure, and proven methods for embedding lasting cultural change against institutional resistance.
Book Andy for unparalleled insights from someone who has successfully led transformation when lives, reputation and public trust were on the line.
