Summary
A seasoned technology executive, innovator in Cyber Security Threat Intelligence, telecommunications and internet ser-vices,
posting many firsts along a successful career covering disciplines as varied as software development to consulta-tive
sales. Supported various organizations from venture-funded start-ups to some of the largest Fortune 100 companies.
Andy built a base of skills starting with the earliest implementations of 3rd Generation Languages, originator of operator
company wide voice mail systems, to seeing the product development and deployment of the first off switch Home Loca-tion
Register and Authentication Center (HLR/AC) which dramatically improved AT&T’s call handling and significant reduc-tion
in early cell phone fraud. Andy’s entrepreneurial skills were honed by co-founding a small start-up in the mid 1990’s
whose primary focus was the distribution and least cost routing of corporate fax traffic via internal WAN technology.
Over the past 15 years, Andy has brought to market the first E911 system deployed nationwide at Sprint in support of the
E911 location mandate. That experienced earned Andy the reputation of being a location based services expert where he
was able to consult with a number of start-ups using location for various commercial endeavors. Most recently he adapt-ed
his technical and selling skills to the fast growing area of Cyber Threat Intelligence systems executing the go to market
strategy at Narus Inc. (a Boeing Company). Success in sales through out the last 15 years put Andy in the top percentile
of revenue generators for his companies and gave him access to many executive level individuals within the Telecommu-nications
and internet industries. He has experience building business relationships with direct customers, OEM’s, ISV’s,
Channels and System Integrators.
Andy is a strategic thinker who thrives on the challenge of helping businesses identify new paths to revenue and imple-menting
systems and processes that ensure overall strategic success.
