I brought Andrew in because I needed someone who could hold the complexity of both the business and the people running it, including me. What I didn’t anticipate was how far the work would reach.
He has worked with my sister, my business partner, and members of my leadership team. Things shifted across all of us. The way we function together, the way I show up in the relationships that matter most to me, and how I lead. I also got clearer on how I hold my role as CEO with an exceptional team around me. That distinction has continued to enhance my ability to develop the business in a world that’s changing quickly.
He’s still a part of the team because he brings real value.
I see him regularly now. Not because something is wrong but because having a place to bring the complicated parts of business and life, and someone who actually understands both, turns out to be one of the better decisions I’ve made.
