Take a look at some of my engagements and at what others have said about me.
I’m grateful for all Andrew did to prepare and moderate the excellent Tech for Transformation session at the 2023 Ukraine Recovery Conference. He was fantastically helpful in advising the team, and in the thought, effort, persistence and excellent interpersonal skills he deployed to pull off such a complex event. And I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!
