“As someone that's spent their entire career in senior leadership in talent acquisition and technology, I've had the great fortune to interview and work alongside some of the brightest minds in tech. Andy is a truly unique technology executive and one that I recommend without hesitation. Here are three traits that set him apart. Innovation: Whether working for a start-up or a Fortune 50 company, Andy’s ability as an innovator sets him apart. He’s the type of professional who can always step away from any problem or situation and think like an innovator. As members of Entelo’s executive team, I saw numerous examples where we had large-scale problems facing us. Andy consistently led by example by encouraging us to step back and look at alternate solutions. This led to repeatable success and also helped our internal teams grow by looking outside of the box for solutions. Technical Acumen: I saw Andy consistently thrive in an environment where he would have to trade his executive hat for a hand’s on hat as he worked with our international engineering team. As someone that build the CIQ product from scratch and helped drive their acquisition by Entelo, Andy very easily could have remained an SME on that product. Instead, he worked to understand the coding behind the Entelo product and helped build the foundation for a product that blended the two together in our On-Demand Talent Campaigns which are transforming the market. I’ve worked with and interviewed hundreds of CTOs in my career and Andy is in the 5% in regard to technical acumen. Leadership: I’ve seen my share of highly-skilled executives that are incredible problem-solvers and subject-matter experts but struggle in the key category of leadership. Andy is the rare executive that combines both and in my opinion, this is what sets him apart. Even now, years (and another acquisition later), current engineering employees that worked under Andy speak of him often and fondly. He took on the difficult task of leading and mentoring a global engineering team ranging from early in career to mid-level across multiple continents. Andy’s ability to team and help his team grow professionally has laid the foundation for the creation of future leaders. I’ve seen this first-hand as many of his former Entelo team have since been promoted. I have no doubt this is directly due to working under Andy. I can also speak from my own experience joining the company’s executive team mid-pandemic during the tumultuous summer of 2020. At the time, Entelo had reduced nearly ⅔ of their staff. Andy was instrumental in my development as a leader and I remember him meeting with me weekly to not only get me up to speed but to offer advice and best practices to get my footing. Later, we worked closely on multiple mission-critical initiatives and I learned an incredible amount from him. I owe a large part of my early and current success as an executive to Andy’s mentorship.”
