Andrew's Story
Andy and his family live in his hometown alongside his parents, siblings and lots of nieces and nephews. He did manage to make it out for a few years to attend college in upstate New York, where he became intrigued with development economics and the interplay of business and government policy. This interest led to a focus on investing in the healthcare industry early in his professional career. Today he is passionate about working with his colleagues around the world to build more valuable healthcare companies that make a positive impact on people’s lives.
