Andy has spent over 15 years in management consulting, product leadership, venture capital, and angel investing. He was awarded an MBE for his services to the tech sector and brings insight from leading and investing through multiple cycles of disruption. Today Andy partners with global brands like Google, Tesco, Uber, Novartis, and Oxford Saïd Business School to help their leaders create environments where teams thrive.
Andy supports VP and C-suite executives to close the gap between being the leader they believe they should be and the leader their teams actually need. His approach addresses inclusive leadership, high-performance team culture, and the human side of AI adoption, not as separate initiatives but as interconnected challenges that determine whether organisations execute under pressure. He guides executives through the trust-building work that sits beneath strategy documents, helping them move from aspiration to implementation. Andy's methods draw on real operational experience, rather than theory, giving leaders frameworks they can apply immediately after working with him.
Audiences leave Andy's sessions with specific conversations they're ready to initiate, tools to challenge their own assumptions, and clarity on the leadership behaviours their teams need right now. His interactive approach creates the conditions needed for real recognition and change.
Book Andy when you need a speaker who equips your leaders with practical next steps, not just inspiration.
