Andy’s leadership philosophy is shaped by his experience as a trusted advisor to global brands such as Google, Novartis, and Tesco, as well as his time as Head of Product Management at high-growth startups. He believes the best leaders prioritise emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and authentic connection. These are principles he brings to life through his workshops, keynotes, and advisory work. His core belief is that how you feel impacts how you perform. Andy helps leaders and teams shift mindsets, embrace curiosity, and foster environments where people feel safe to fail, belong, do their best work, and deliver results.

As the founder of the Angel Investing School, Andy has played a pivotal role in democratising access to investing, training over 1,000 aspiring investors and entrepreneurs, including 100 top executives at Google who went on to launch a $70m VC fund. His entrepreneurial journey began with co-founding Mixtape Madness, and he has since invested in and advised a portfolio of startups now valued at over $500m+. Andy’s work is driven by a vision of a world where inclusive leadership is the norm, and people from all backgrounds can become the role models of the future.

Alongside investing and leadership advisory, Andy acquires UK small businesses with strong fundamentals and patient capital. Andy’s philosophy involves adding value beyond capital through building resilient businesses, supporting management teams, and compounding value over decades, not days.

Recognised with an MBE for his contributions to business and inclusive leadership in 2020, Andy has also been named one of the Top 10 Most Influential BAME Leaders in Tech by the Financial Times and a Top 25 Black Entrepreneur to Watch by HSBC and the UK Black Business Show.
