I had the pleasure of working with and reporting to Andrew for 2 years. Andrew has outstanding engineering and business acumen. As a manager, he not only provided an environment to grow as an engineer and build on my strengths but, he was able to identify my weaknesses and guided me to improve on them as well. Overall Andrew is a good mentor and a great manager to work for.

I have worked with Andy for around 3 years during his tenure at XPO. He played a very crucial role in training me as an Industrial Engineer in warehousing solutions by helping me learn not only the technical side (engineering and pricing) of the job but also the importance of interpersonal skills while interacting with customers. He has a knack to develop effective solutions through keen attention to details, strong engineering and competitive pricing all while keeping in mind the customer requirements. He is a very patient mentor and a strong leader with the ability to develop effective teams to deliver strong results that drive the company goals. He will make a fine addition to the management level role in any organization!
