Gary McDonald
Andy is top notch in my book!
Joseph Licata
I really enjoyed working with Andy during my time at Mark43. In his role there, Andy worked with potential customers to design and scope out solutions using our mission critical and industry leading SaaS offerings in the public safety sector. As the Director of Product for our CAD and mobile offerings, I appreciated that I could count on him to represent our products well, and to be a part of the feedback cycle to help us prioritize the most important capabilities yet to be built. Andy has extensive experience in the public safety industry, both in law enforcement and in technology management. This experience was invaluable to his ability to effectively work with enterprise customers to find solutions that create benefit all around. Andy was a pleasure to work with and I gladly recommend him to any employer.
