Bio
Christian Hyatt
Andrew is a great team mate who understands information risk management and IT audit from both an internal audit and IT operations perspective. He is able to communicate effectively across geographically and technically diverse project team members and is willing to stand up for the right business decision as opposed to just the easy one. From a technical perspective Andrew finds creative solutions to complex problems and is able to effectively utilize his IT operations experience to bridge the gap between a single issue and higher level business risk.
Michael Robertson
Andrew was a professional and competent leader within the IT Operations group. He was adept at managing his team and mentoring others in the department. Andrew is continually guided by balancing the needs of our customers with the needs of his employees to maximize the benefits for both. He demonstrated proficiency at conducting security and compliance audits. Andrew was instrumental in the success of CEDAR's SSAE-16 SOC2 certification, which included all five of the Trust Service Principles. This was no small feat, given it was the first time we attempted the certification. Andrew is someone who I would definitely want to work with or for in the future!
