Andy and I worked together at Deutsche Bank in London where he was the CAO of the Global Equities group. I hired Andy to design and implement a control structure and financial transparency that we needed at that time. Andy is very insightful, thoughtful and carries a certain gravitas with him that enables him to gain the respect of his peers and co-workers while implementing the improvements necessary. Andy was also an excellent negotiator and was responsible for almost every major 3rd party contract negotiation as well as our outsourcing arrangements. He was able to drive significant expense reductions across the organization while improving quality and automation. He partnered closely with all of the business heads in the Equities group and across other parts of the company. Because of his background in technology groups, he was able to bridge the gap in helping us understand the necessary investments and avoid making costly mistakes. He built and managed a team of high performing people and led by example. When I left Deutsche Bank I was fortunate to be able to hire Andy into a similar role at UBS. I highly recommend him for any consulting role that will leverage his skills. He will help your organization.
