"I hired Andy as program manager for a complex global technology migration and decommisioning initiative.  He nimbly managed multiple stakeholders and dependencies and brought transparency to the whole endeavour, keeping a tight rein on scope and risk."

Bill Mitchell, Director, Head of Delivery, Deutsche Bank Global Technology

"Andy transformed the European element of the Global Expansion Program by coaching the team to deliver, in a particularly challenging environment.  He provided clarity around scope and direction, while at the same time aligning geographically dispersed members of the bank team with third party suppliers, resulting in a cohesive and effective delivery team."

Phil Gilligan, formerly Global Programme Director, Merrill Lynch, CIO ICAP & CIO UBS Wealth Management

 "As COO for a leading financial institution, managerial challenges arise frequently and on a broad array of issues. Having the ability to get clarity of thought and direction from an impartial business coach was invaluable. Clearly Andy's experience and relaxed style contributes greatly to the success of a beneficial coaching relationship"

John Wright, Formerly Managing Director, Merrill Lynch & COO Mortgages PLC

"From the initial meeting, I was impressed how quickly we were able to launch into constructively analysing the specific challenges I raised. A very good ability to understand the issues, ask intelligent questions and play back the key points, helped focus in on the problem and identify solutions.”

Helena Beddoe, Director, Deutsche Bank Global Markets

“...added tremendous value by providing executive leadership and extensive finance/banking experience to the enterprise-wide, local account carrier project we collaborated on. During that time, I have seen him: innovate on the bank's requirements, recognizing the need for new and modified approaches to our current state environment; lead courageously, stepping forward to address difficult issues; relate to people in an open and friendly manner, showing sincere interest in them and their concerns; and finally actively encouraging learning and development, providing constructive criticism to those he managed and mentored. Most importantly, Andy is a champion for positive change, challenging the status quo and actively managing the change process.”

Andrew Cohen, formerly Vice President and Project Manager, Merrill Lynch Private Client

“Andy helped me set up a Low Latency group in my firm.  He was instrumental in helping to structure the agenda and give concrete goals to what could otherwise have been a very nebulous effort. His knowledge of the subject area was impressive, as was his ability to get a loosely structured group to be productive."

Bob Heuman, Director, Deutsche Bank Global Markets

"... delivers projects through the development of the people ... creates a sustainable legacy."

Lynda Henty, formerly Global Head of Human Resources, EBS

“... worked tirelessly to re-energise and strengthen the BEM team for deliveries to Client Ops and Derivatives Ops.”

Andrew Weir, formerly Head of Global Markets Shared Technology, Deutsche Bank Global Markets

"... quickly identified inefficiencies in processes and procedures that were restrictive to the GSD function, along with impediments to productive cross-department relationships, essential to the solutions delivery group as a whole. Andy's in-depth experience enhancing business functions and processes, particularly within the Financial Market space, was evident from day one. Andy pushed his team to get the best results, while also providing the tools that enabled our growth and development in the roles we filled. I found my experience working for Andy both challenging and rewarding and would welcome the chance to work with him again.”
