Andrew has spent 20 years working with his clients to select, design, implement, and scale critical technology systems across a wide variety of industries and technologies, with a focus in systems and platform implementation and management. Andrew has played project roles including lead architect for a global OS upgrade project, technical architect and QA for large-scale on-premises to cloud migrations, and technical architect and IT separation management lead for multiple M&A carve-out and integration efforts. He is commonly called on to provide infrastructure and cybersecurity assessment and perspective during M&A diligence efforts. In addition to his infrastructure consulting roles, Andrew also spent several years leveraging his deep infrastructure background to lead rapid response teams performing extremely time-critical triage, recovery, and incident command tasks for customers recovering from ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity incidents.
Andrew focuses on implementing practical solutions that are maintainable for customers over the long term. He avoids implementations of overly complex systems, and brings a pragmatic approach to cybersecurity advisory that focuses on both enabling business operations as well as mitigating enterprise risk. He strives to work with clients during implementation to ease transition and transfer knowledge smoothly.
Prior to joining Liberty, Andrew spent the majority of his career as a consultant, architect, and team leader with West Monroe Partners’ Technology and Experience practice. He holds numerous Microsoft, VMware, and other technical certifications.
