As a growth leader and brand builder, Andrew believes in the power of strong, visible, differentiated brands to drive business value. His early journalism career helped infuse a storyteller’s mindset into a diverse marketing playbook, shaping measurable success in both B2C and B2B contexts. His leadership style is rooted in mindfulness, cultivated through empathy, intellectual curiosity, and vulnerability. By building highly engaged, high-performing, low-churn teams, he supports business objectives and drives purposeful results while scaling revenue.

As the first CMO at Care Access — a mission-driven healthcare startup democratizing access to clinical research trials — Andrew focused on scaling growth, audience marketing, brand, communications, insights, and content functions while building a team to support the company’s global multi-audience focus and delivering the company’s first major patient enrollment campaigns.

For 8 years prior Andrew served as SVP, Head of Brand and Chief Creative Officer at realtor.com where he led a team of 33 that produced breakthrough creative and storytelling campaigns, developed long term positioning and strategy, built strong organic and paid social engagement, and drove exponential audience growth (18M UUs > 92M UUs over his tenure), receiving Comscore’s designation as the fastest growing brand in digital real estate while tripling revenue to $600M during that time.

Andrew’s career has also included time at Yahoo in global consumer marketing, 8 years leading early influencer and word-of-mouth marketing agency Ammo Marketing through its acquisition by Dentsu Aegis, and the creative team that built the original Orbitz.com.

More recently he has focused on advising purpose-driven startups and non-profit organizations to support their growth and brand development.
