        I worked with Andy at AbsolutData and he was always classy and effective.  Andy is the kind of guy you like in your company because he is always looking for ways to add value...Andy cares deeply about his responsibilities and it enables to make contributions day in and day out.  He also brings a great deal of intelligence, both in a strategic and a "street wise" sort of way.  He is also an excellent communicator...I've seen a lot of good decks in my day but Andy's were among the best..  In short, Andy brings a potent combination of skills that would add value to any team.

        I contaced Andy at Evalueserve in 2005, seeking outside expert research and consulting assistance with one of GE Capital's evaluations as a potential investor / lender in a multi-billion dollar telecom expansion project with little or no expectation that he and his company might assist. Andy immediately grasped what I needed and claimed competence for the entire valuation. 
While it was too big to award to a newcomer, I came to work with Andy and his company and found that he had the intelligence, plus management talent, to marshall his company’s resources and deliver valuable services. For the ensuing 5 years, Andy worked for my team on other investment projects as well as a few other groups in GE to which I referred him. After I retired from GE, we maintained a professional relationship and I found him to have many additional professional capabilities, plus a keen wit.
