About Andrew

Experienced leader in operations, sustainability and strategy. I make my largest impact by working very close with your team, changing mindsets, focusing on the important problems and providing the analytical horsepower from an aerospace engineer to whichever your problems are. You can expect a friendly, driven, knowledgeable and honest partner in me.

I have worked in industries ranging from offshore wind, vertical farming, fibre manufacturing and oil and gas; from aligning C-suite stakeholders on strategy to working with shop-floor workers on technical machine problems. If it's an interesting, hard problem, I won't say no to it.

Working with me will be an intense and rewarding experience. I am looking for interesting challenges related to sustainability, the application of new tech to traditional environments, new product launches, cost-cutting initiatives and general business strategy. However if your problem doesn't fit those, please reach out! Chances are we'll find overlap or I'll be able to recommend you to someone who you will love working with.

    I developed subsea structural models to understand structural integrity of, among others, subsea cables used in offshore windfarms; providing engineering design, consulting and due diligence services.
    A combination of finite element theory, subsea wave modelling and Python automation enabled by cloud technology allowed me to perform analysis on over 90% of European offshore wind projects (FEED and commissioned) since I joined Agiletek.
    This was achieved using AgileTek's internally develop cloud architecture, which I contributed to in development, usage and feedback.

  • OurSolar
    Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder
    ENERGY AND UTILITIES
    January 2023 - Today (3 years and 5 months)
    Madrid, Spain
    OurSolar - Crowdfunding renewable power. We founded OurSolar because of three core beliefs:
    ☀ There is not enough renewable energy in the world
    ☀ The development of renewable energy has to follow principles of optimal generation and people's needs, not jurisdictions and borders
    ☀ People should benefit from a green transition financially as well as environmentally, and should have input on how it's done.
    Our mission is simple: to build as much renewable energy as we can. By building it in places where it makes sense, like southern Spain or northern Brazil, we challenge a capital allocation model that prioritises legal jurisdiction over generation potential. Let's build solar near the Equator, not in Denmark or Germany. And by crowdsourcing our Farms, we empower everyone to benefit from the much needed green transition, not just large energy conglomerates. I am responsible for all strategic and day-to-day operational decisions.
