Andrew Kitchell

“Andrew is an exceptionally talented CEO. Passionate, imaginative, bright, focused, and fully engaged with his employees and the business at large. A truly gifted leader and team builder, he engenders a deep trust from his employees while eliciting excitement and drive to fulfill the company mission. CEOs often try - and fail - to strike the delicate balance between starry-eyed optimist and steely-eyed realist, but Andrew makes it look easy; we always looked to the future, but not at the expense of hard work and difficult decisions in the present. He shows care for his employees, and because of this, his employees work tirelessly to deliver the best possible business outcomes. Our high-functioning team was brimming with incredible people, something I attribute to Andrew's ability to attract and retain talent. Besides his leadership and management skills, Andrew's ability to craft, message, and sell a vision is second to none. From my very first conversation with him I was sold on his reimagining of our industry. I came away from our chat convinced that 1.) he had revolutionary ideas, and 2.) that I wanted to be a part of implementing them. His passion is obvious, his energy infectious, and his instincts keen. I would - unquestionably - work for Andrew in the future, and am confident that any organization would benefit from his exceptionally gifted leadership.”

“In my bicameral mind, I listen to words and pay close attention to actions to reach a congruence in logic where I can quantifiably assess the company I keep; and my conclusion of Andrew Kitchell is, he’s a real humanist to the core. I’ve worked directly with CEO’s, founders and entrepreneurs that range a gamut of personalities and Andrew is the only one who I will walk through fire with again. This is someone who deeply cares about humanity. He listens. He recalibrates. He reads. He takes the time to understand. He stands up for the misunderstood. He finds beauty in the subtle movements. And, most importantly to me, he isn’t afraid of change or the ambiguity of discovering what change is. You’ll experience many things in life and when you find someone who holds space for you despite the resource algorithms, you’ve found a real friend. Thank you, Andrew, for being you and allowing everyone to be who they are in their journey. I see you - I hope and know everyone will too. ”
