Team Natural Gas Industry Experts ANDREW WEST Founder and CEO, Board of Directors Andrew West’s impact on a regional, state, and national level can be measured in less – 29% less greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the difference American Natural Gas (ANG) makes every time a customer chooses compressed natural gas (CNG) over diesel. And, with the introduction of ANG’s new supply of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) that difference will climb to 115% less emissions when compared to diesel. Drew founded ANG in 2011 and has led it from a single-person venture into a national company with over 40 CNG stations across 14 states. The driving force behind his work is the fact that CNG is a cleaner, safer, cheaper, and more efficient alternative to diesel or gasoline. One client at a time, with a roster of names that includes Tops Friendly Markets, Frito-Lay, and Casella Waste, Drew has been entrusted with the future carbon footprint and global impacts of dozens of businesses. A natural entrepreneur, Drew founded multiple companies before ANG. He was an instrumental member of eBay’s business development team for designing, launching, operating, and marketing a flash sale business model platform. Before eBay, he was a senior vice president of eFashionSolutions and the founder and chairman of auctionPAL, a concierge company for assisting consumers in online live auction marketplaces. In 2018 Drew joined the board of directors of NGVAmerica. He is a 2016 recipient of the 40 under 40 award from the Albany Business Review and was named to the Saratoga Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees in 2017. A graduate of Middlebury College, he enjoys partaking as a mentor and judge for the school’s entrepreneurial winter term classes. Drew is a frequent supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, which his great grandfather founded, and has supported New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF) and other notable not-for-profit organizations in the past. An alumnus of NYSEF, he leads his business today with many of the skills he learned as a young ski racer – risk taking, confidence, and a willingness to take ownership of his own success.
