ABOUT ANDREW

Andrew's career path reflects a diverse range of experiences, from large-scale manufacturing to business ownership and consulting. He began his journey by leveraging his education in Economics and Accounting to secure a role as a cost accountant in the Aerospace industry. This experience honed his skills in managing finances within complex manufacturing operations.

​Later, his career trajectory shifted towards general management, leading him to oversee global manufacturing within the furnishings industry. This broadened his perspective on operational leadership and navigating international business landscapes.

Seeking a new challenge and driven by a desire for ownership, Andrew transitioned to Cambium Company in the early 2000s. Cambium allowed him to delve into the world of product development and sourcing, connecting domestic wholesale markets with international locations. Additionally, he established a second revenue stream by providing valuation and disposition services for business owners and financial institutions, demonstrating his expertise in asset management.

A desire for a change in focus led Andrew to pursue a career in business counseling. He joined the State of North Carolina, assisting clients facing business transitions. His role emphasized value creation, guiding individuals in maximizing the value of their assets for a smooth ownership transfer. This period also saw Andrew dedicate himself to continuous learning, culminating in his certification as a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA).

After a decade with the State, Andrew has returned to Cambium. With his extensive experience and CEPA certification, he aims to leverage his expertise to help business owners identify and extract maximum value from their businesses. This return signifies a full circle moment, allowing Andrew to combine his diverse skillset and passion for business ownership to empower others in their entrepreneurial journeys.
