Bio
Can purposeful businesses that balance the needs of all their stakeholders compete with profit-driven companies that prioritize their stockholders above all? Conscious Capitalism has proved that they can…and the movement is growing!
In addition to co-founding a local chapter of this worldwide movement, Andrew is the Chief Evolutionary Officer of The XLR8 Team, where he works with leaders to evolve themselves toward realizing their purpose and evolving their company’s culture into a competitive advantage.
In 2015, he earned a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Andrew’s forthcoming book, For The EVOLution of Business, expands on his Masters thesis to explore how the principles of positive psychology and cultural evolution reveal the path toward a more “conscious” capitalism and why the only sustainable path to a thriving planet is through inclusive prosperity. Check out his "For the EVOLution of Business" podcast on Apple Podcasts!
Andrew serves as President of Rochester Young Professionals and on the boards of Junior Achievement, the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation and Leadership Rochester. He is also a member of NextGen Rochester, a young professional philanthropic giving circle. In addition to his work with Conscious Capitalism Rochester, he also helps to encourage inclusive prosperity by serving as a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs with the Venture Jobs Foundation, the RIT Center for Urban Entrepreneurship and as a Big Brother. In 2017, he was named to the Rochester Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 list.
