        Andy possesses many wonderful managerial traits and was a pleasure to work with from the marketing side. He holds a rare combination of knowing technology inside and out and then being able to translate that into what the customer needs and cares about.

        Andrew wrote documents that I edited. He wrote detailed descriptions of testing documents that showed his extensive knowledge of the product. When I had questions about the product, I found Andrew could tell me pretty much anything I needed to know.
