Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Andy 3 years ago during one of my first jobs in business. He was the project leader of our team at the Boston Consulting Group. To this day, Andy remains one of the best leaders I have had the pleasure of working with. There are four aspects of his management style that set him apart. Firstly, he’s a great mentor. Andy coached me specifically on how to interact with clients and how to work with their customers and suppliers. And he coached me generally on how to succeed in the fast-paced business world. He has a knack for identifying people who work well together and for knowing where each member of a team is best suited to contribute to the overall project. He does this while providing opportunities for each person to gain new skills and improve current competency. Secondly, he does not micromanage. Andy provides team members with clear guidance and support as needed, allowing individuals full ownership of their modules. Thirdly, he never seems stressed, even in very high-pressure situations, which helps to calm the team and keep the group focused. Lastly, Andy always found the time, despite obviously being very busy, to thank everyone for their work. For example, upon returning from a vacation in Russia, Andy arrived with bottles of indigenous vodka and thoughtful cards for each member of the team, thanking us for our work. This level of attention to the team describes Andy at his core – a great leader who genuinely cares about developing individuals and providing value for clients." and "Andy was one of the best project leaders that I worked with at BCG. Not only does he have all the hard skils that make him effective (problem-solving, analytics, a great business sense), but it is his management style that makes him truly great to work with. Clients always appreciated his thoughtfulness and clear communication. His sense of humor and flexible work style motivated our team to produce great results, and we had fun doing it. Andy took a real interest in helping me develop my skills as a junior member of the team, proactively seeking ways for me to gain exposure to new situations. Whenever I heard Andy was managing a project, I tried to join the team; unfortunately, most other associates who had previously worked with Andy felt similarly, so spots on Andy's team were always in very high demand. Andy is a pleasure to work with and is a great mentor and friend."
