Andrew W. Email & Phone Number

Andrew W. is a Product and Engineering Manager, Forest Management at Trimble Inc.. Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Andrew as a member of my team, and as a customer when he was a product owner. Andrew is without doubt unusual in his field; he combines expert technical skills and knowledge with an uncanny ability to understand the user’s needs, even if these are not well articulated! He demonstrates excellent strategic understanding of organisations’ needs and works brilliantly with stakeholders across the piece to ensure that these are addressed effectively. He anticipates issues and barriers before they become issues and barriers by providing solutions as part of his planning process. He easily develops rapport with stakeholders, recognising the importance of this to the success of any system development, change or implementation. As part of my team, he planned and led the implementation of ProSolution, involving staff across the organisation and liaising effectively with the supplier, ensuring the success of this enormous change and enabling the organisation to harness all of the benefits of the system in a very short period of time. His integral role in the development of dashboards, and essentially, his understanding of the needs and wants of stakeholders, ensured that these were fit-for-purpose and led to improvement by providing complete, accurate and timely data to inform decision-making. Andrew is also unusual in that he maintains current knowledge of developments and changes in the FE sector and brings this knowledge to bear on solutions for customers and stakeholders. His customer service is second to none and he is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Andrew – any organisation would be lucky to benefit from his expertise." and " Whilst working with Andrew I have found him to be an extremely dedicated and knowledgeable Product Owner. Not only is Andrew hard working, he takes the time to thoroughly understand the market, stakeholders and build quality relationships. As well as this, Andrew has always been reliable and approachable at any time. He always places the customer and the product interest first, working meticulously with the wider team regardless of the task at hand. Andrew is an asset to any product team. "
