Andrew Smith, Ice-Ac Email and Phone Number

I work with leaders, business, and technology teams to improve alignment, facilitate collaboration, remove roadblocks, and generate solutions so that the organization can better deliver on its aspirations for great products and services. I am a "go to" person for solving complex problems - working with technical teams, executives/leaders, and customers to make sense of hard and ambiguous problems, create clarity, generate and evaluate possible paths forward, and move into action. I've often been asked "How can we create more Andrews?" - in response I've become a leader, mentor, teacher, and coach: I build the capacity for people and teams to be more effective in complex and stressful situations. A long-time friend and colleague observed: "Things just go more smoothly when Andrew's involved." Skills include: Vision and Strategy, Agile Planning and Delivery, Systems / Software Architecture, Enterprise and Team Agile Coaching, Software Development, Agile Technical Practices, Change Agent, Leadership Development, Facilitation.I've guided technology solutions in many domains and technologies, including vehicle telematics and ELD, education, agricultural equipment, logistics, telephony, avionics, cloud, enterprise SaaS, mobile devices, desktop, and embedded systems. I've developed the ability to get up to speed quickly and to guide problem solving effectively when those around me have the deeper knowledge.In my colleagues' own words:- "Andrew brings clarity, integrity, and forward motion to any project he works on."- "Andrew is the guy who helps customers figure out what they actually need, not just what they thought they needed. "- "I can trace so much of my career back to meeting you and then joining your team, which was a formative experience for me as an engineer and leader."- "Andrew is the guy who can bridge a canyon between what management wants and what engineering can deliver."- "Andrew is the guy you call in to help solve the really hard technical problems."- "Andrew can plan, manage, and lead. Andrew can also do extremely high quality software engineering work."Want to get in touch?- Message me here and I'll get back to you, or email me at andrew@andrewdsmith.netTop 5 Strengthsfinder Talents: Input | Learner | Relator | Achiever | Ideation
