Andrew established a manufacturing facility in China and recruited a sales force to sell his first solo product into major US retailers. Andrew and the X-IT Product ladder were involved in a legal case that resulted in the largest corporate award in Virginia State history for his investors.
Andrew then founded a Silicon Valley company focused on solving data challenges between manufacturers and retailers. While CEO, Andrew built and led the executive team; Chaired the Board; raised $21M of capital, and began new partnerships and customer relationships with Home Depot, Black & Decker, BJs and others.
Recently, Andrew joined a small software/SAAS Silicon Valley based company and spent six years focused on driving strategic relationships, working with the core team to grow and prepare that company for an IPO. Model N successfully went through the IPO March 2013.
