About Andy L.

For over 25 years I have been leading growth and change in telecoms and technology businesses - and I pride myself on getting things done. Now, working as a Non-Executive Chairman and Director to mostly Private Equity owned businesses, I enjoy helping others deliver the growth and success they aspire to.I have built high performing teams, led considerable growth, transformed performance and delivered turnarounds. I've been involved in many acquisitions and successfully sold several businesses. With a background that was initially technical then commercial and now in leadership I can adapt to different roles and requirements. I've successfully led teams in sales and marketing, operations, product management, service provision, manufacturing and in general management.I believe in starting with strategic clarity - knowing where we are going with everyone understanding how they contribute. With strategic clarity we can create executable plans and colleage engagement and alignment.I enjoy working with people - in particular coaching and mentoring at all levels to broaden and hone awareness and thinking to achieve more. I am a leader of change who achieves through communication and motivation, structure and governance and above all action. And across all of this I am determined and ambitious – I want it to work and I want it to be right.I've seen plenty of different business issues and opportunities over the years and I have been lucky enough to work with some great people from whom I believe I've learned. Together we have driven considerable business growth and we have fixed some tricky problems. I hope that through all of this I have learned how to quickly get to the core of a problem and fix it effectively.a.s.l@me.com | 07852 133332
