Andrew joined Emissary in April 2024 to lead our GTM transition to a SaaS product. He first fell in love with technology in middle school, writing PERL apps with no commercial value and wasting absurd hours overclocking Pentium chips. At Georgetown he majored in government but continued coding apps on the side, such as an event management system that handled the university’s event-ticket lotteries and, rumor had it, generated event passes for girls he wanted to impress.

He grew up Third Culture but is now just about settled in the Metro DC area with his wife, four kids, and 1.5 pets.
