Andrew strikes the right balance in his professional career. I found him to be meticulously detailed and able to pull together all relevant data related to route development and budget forecasting - whilst also presenting it in an inclusive and consultative manner. He was a positive influence as a team member and created a healthy work environment for all around. I wish him well in the energy industry, where I'm sure he will make a mark.
