Andrew is the founder of Pilot44 (www.pilot44.com). Pilot44 is helping larger companies and brands partner more effectively with startups. Going beyond traditional matchmaking (and the associated ineffective partnership model), they have built an innovation lab that will allow brands to efficiently identify and "test drive” technology with
startups. In order to optimize the steep ramp-up & learning curve that both startups and brands face with each partnership, they have brought together the resources and capabilities (technology, creative, project leadership) needed to actually deliver pilots quickly at scale. They are measured on in-market delivery of solutions vs. introductions. He attended Purdue University Krannert School of Management.
Andrew is an experienced corporate entrepreneur that led Procter & Gamble’s open innovation effort with entrepreneurs and startups in Silicon Valley. Andrew spent 10 years at P&G and has marketing, retail, operations, finance, M&A, and extensive business development experience. He takes a hands-on approach and is an expert at building end-to-end partnerships between brands and external innovators. Andrew is also an entrepreneur. Having founded multiple companies himself, he has a unique focus on bringing innovation to market with some of the brightest minds on the planet.
