Kelly McAskill-Petrich
Andrew is a solid leader able to effectively shape and implement long-term strategies as well as coach and support teams to execute on short-term tactics. He brings to his work an impressive blend of business strategy, sustainability and marketing and communications know-how as well as a sense of creativity and willingness to think outside the box. I enjoyed working with him as my manager and as a mentor who always showed calm under pressure, a sense of levity and humor and a genuine consideration for others and their personal and professional development.
