Andrew is a highly skilled and experienced information systems architect and consultant, which in my view is a rare thing. He is innovative in his thinking and merits the title of 'thought leader' in his specialist domains of knowledge—in particular the management of risk. Andrew has embraced SABSA as a framework and, in doing so, has been a significant contributor to extending the SABSA body of knowledge."
