Andrew collaborates with faculty and staff to commercialize software and digital innovations developed at the University. His portfolio includes intellectual property license negotiations covering patents, trademarks, copyrights, and technical expertise. Some of those licenses are to University-based start-up companies. Andrew’s favorite work aligns with the AUTM Better World Project: licensing innovations that will improve our everyday lives, with the hope for long-lasting impact.

Prior to Tech Comm, Andrew spent time in sales, marketing, and business development roles at several Twin Cities start-ups.
