Andy

Thirty years of building, leading and growing - from commissioned Army Officer to senior agency roles at Geometry Global, OgilvyOne and iris worldwide. Now helping founders navigate the hardest parts of scaling a business.

Andy has spent 30 years leading teams and growing businesses - starting as a commissioned Army Officer in Germany, which I'm sure he would tell you has taught him more about leadership, resilience and performing under pressure than anything that came after.

From there he went on to hold senior roles at some of the world's most respected agencies - OgilvyOne, TBWA, iris worldwide, Geometry Global - working with brands like Adidas, Microsoft, Diageo, Emirates and HSBC across experiential, commercial strategy and brand. As Managing Director at Energy, he grew the agency from £3.6m to nearly £8m in revenue and transformed it into a Top 20 UK brand experience agency. Later, as Global Managing Partner at Geometry Global, he won over £27m in new business and built the agency's global experiential capability from the ground up.

More recently Andy has co-founded businesses, led as a fractional CEO, mentored the next generation of industry talent through Elevate, and lectured at Goldsmiths - all while advising founders and leadership teams on growth, commercial strategy and market positioning.

He joined Volando because he knows what it takes to build something from the ground up - and what founders need around them when it gets hard.
