About Andrew

I am a US Army combat veteran and Infantry Officer with over 10 years of experience who was recruited into the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Department of Defense’s premiere research and development division. My role with DARPA was a major pivot from my prior operations and logistics experience toward military intelligence and strategy centered activities. Since tomorrow’s battlefield will be vastly different from today’s, my team was tasked with developing viable tactics for the ‘Hybrid Threat’ environment that would eventually replace current ‘Counter Insurgency’ efforts for future warfare. When the time came to implement the strategy my team had developed, I was hired by General Dynamics to take part in the next phase. I spent 80% or more of my time travelling the world to train soldiers and collect and act on feedback from experimental training exercises. General Dynamics also gave me my first real view of the business world. I became fascinated with the level of strategy involved to maintain a successful Fortune 500 business. After considerable research, I decided to pursue an MBA. I hope to build on the skills I have developed over my career by transitioning into a consulting role at a major firm.
