        I had the pleasure to work with Andy at Reflexis Systems.  Andy is a great negotiator, focused not only on legal issues but the commercial terms within contracts as well.  For most of his tenure at Reflexis he was able to successfully support the entire sales team in a very faced paced environment (several dozen multi year, multi million dollar agreements) and broader company employees for new vendors and partner relationships.  While there, the Company expanded operations into Europe where Any designed the GDPR compliance program from scratch.  Andy identified and timely communicated risks to senior management; and counseled on best business/legal strategy to either avoid or mitigate those risks.  Andy was most definitely a very reliable professional with a great demeanor in the office and felt very comfortable partnering with C-Suite and other within the organization.  A very well-liked employee (despite being a Giants fan).  True asset to the Company. Ellan Murphy
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I had the pleasure of working with Andy at Pipedrive. He is an agile, knowledgeable and business-savvy counsel who was always available and willing to do what was asked of him. Whether it was developing better processes or working closely to bring in new business - no task was too tall for him. He's one of the good people in this business .   And I highly recommend him!
