“Andy is an exceptional leader whose combination of creativity, strategy and passion motivates his team to deliver remarkable results. I reported to Andy for five years when he was VP of Global Marketing at Wolverine, and during that time he transformed the marketing approach for the brand. A few things stand out from my time working with him: Curiosity and Critical Thinking - His approach energized the team, inspiring them to question the status-quo and solve problems in new ways. No matter how unsurmountable a challenge may appear to be, Andy is skilled at asking the right questions to get to the root of the issue and come up with creative solutions. Insight Driven - Andy drives a focus on consumer insights and performance data as the starting point for strategic marketing and effective creative. He is passionate about developing deep empathy for the consumer which leads to breakthrough ideas. And he’s a compelling storyteller who can secure buy-in for those ideas and execute at the highest level. Leadership - Under Andy’s leadership, the team achieved record marketing results and direct-to-consumer sales growth. He set a clear vision and had high expectations, challenging the team to set bold goals and take strategic risks to achieve them. At the same time, he was quick to credit the team for every success, which further motivated them to push for excellent results. I learned a lot about marketing strategy and team leadership while working for Andy, and he is generous with his time to help others learn. Andy would be a valuable asset to any organization, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”
