Starr Douglas
Founder & CEO
Andrew is one of the most kind, wise, strategic, and generous individuals I've ever had the privilege of working with. It is a joy and an honor to know him, let alone call him a friend.
Kim Lewis
Chief Product Officer
As I considered how to describe the value that Andrew Brummer provides to an organization, it was hard to isolate down to a specific skill. Andrew competently moves from marketing...to sales...to implementation...to enablement...to truly whatever gap needs to be filled. His versatility is matched by his willingness. Many times this has meant extremely long hours and late nights. Andrew doesn’t tell us “No” as much as he could have – and that is what has made him especially appreciated and valued. I whole heartedly recommend him as an asset to any organization.
Mike Huseman
Revenue Optimization Executive
Andrew has an amazing ability to understand the strategic, simplify the complex and execute to value. He can think, speak and engage at any level with clarity and purpose. His ability to keep teams on task and focused is unparalleled. At OT, Andrew was my "go-to-guy". He was never afraid to get his hands dirty in the trenches while also leading at a strategic level. His insight and apptitude allowed us to address very complex issues with clarity and purpose. He is a very loyal individual who functions with honesty and transparency. A true asset.
Janai Walters
Co-Founder & CEO
Working with Andrew Brummer through the TiE Atlanta Foundation was a game-changer for inSIDEkonnect. Andrew’s extensive experience in financial analysis and strategic planning was instrumental in identifying our core business and investor readiness challenges. His guidance in refining our financials and market positioning provided clear, actionable steps that led to immediate improvements. Additionally, he didn’t just give us answers; he equipped us with the tools and confidence to solve complex problems ourselves.
Beyond his technical expertise, Andrew balances hands-on mentorship with empowering founders to develop their leadership styles. His mentorship was pivotal to my shift in focus from a non-technical founder to a confident CEO, ready to scale inSIDEkonnect.
Andrew’s commitment extends beyond scheduled meetings. He makes himself available for critical, last-minute consultations, follows up to ensure progress, and uses his extensive network at just the right moments to open doors that matter. Under his guidance, we’ve achieved milestones that seemed daunting before his involvement.
Last but certainly not least, Andrew offers extraordinary value to any founder/entrepreneur who is serious about scaling their business. His combination of strategic thinking, practical business expertise, start-up/investor preparedness acumen, and genuine dedication to our team’s success made him an invaluable mentor. It was an absolute privilege to work with and learn from him. I highly recommend Andrew

Andrew is a unique and extraordinary blend of service management and business process expertise, thought leadership, technical product knowledge, passion and heart. After engaging with globally known consultants over the last 3 years in an ITSM journey, none have come close to the manner and strides Andrew has taken to not only understand my organization’s needs, but also the dynamic of the humans ultimately accountable for deliverables – all while expertly guiding a pragmatic and forward thinking process and tool implementation.
Andrew lights a phenomenal spark of engagement in every single person involved in the journey, is an inspirational leader from whom you can’t help but learn and bloom, and a true honor to know.

Shona Troost
Project Manager
One of my huge draws to move to LifeQ was getting to work under Andrew’s leadership.
He’s no-nonsense when we need to get the job done, but he’s all-nonsense when it’s time to have a good time together. I’m privileged to be led and coached by him.
Andrew has a knack for getting to the root of a problem or concept. He’s able to quickly run through multiple iterations of solutions and then fit them back into the bigger picture to assess consequences and choose the most effective option. He does this instinctively and if I can’t see how he got there he will be glad to share his thinking. He is generous with his time and experience to enable me.
He gives me trust and autonomy in my domain and is always willing to soundboard when I need it. He values transparency and I can be assured he will be transparent with me.
Andrew is self-aware and encourages our team to be self-aware and other-aware. He’s people first and knows that us working together well is more important than our individual skill sets.

Stephen Meyer
Writer, Photographer & MA candidate
Andrew's enthusiasm is infectious and he inspired me to go above and beyond – not because that is what the company wanted or needed, but simply because he is the type of leader able to bring out the best in people. What set Andrew apart from any other leader I’ve worked with, is his astounding interpersonal skills and ability to handle conflict. He encourages personal growth and often shares life lessons and recommended books and videos – to say that I’ve learned a lot from him, is an understatement.
His commitment to transparency and unwavering integrity tops a long list of characteristics and personality traits that includes openness, compassion, and a wicked sense of humor. He values hard work but is always aware that a good work-life balance is paramount to success.
Andrew was always a trusted confidant and open to chat. He took an active interest in my well-being – both as colleague and friend. No recommendation can truly showcase the positive way Andrew impacts lives, inspires confidence and maintains credibility. I will forever be grateful that our paths crossed and know that he will add incredible value wherever he goes.
