"ANDY IS ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE MERCHANTS THAT UNDERSTANDS OPERATIONS. HE IS A GREAT PEOPLE PERSON THAT BUILDS TEAMS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANDY."
Bill Fields, Former CEO Blockbuster & CEO Wal-Mart Stores

"I had the pleasure of working with Andy at KB Toys. Andy was brought into the company at a critical juncture and proved to be up for the challenge. His impact was immediate. He first corralled the team around a single vision. He then led the execution of that vision which resulted in a dramatic turnaround. Andy is an intelligent, thoughtful, merchant coach and mentor. He leads with tremendous enthusiasm for the product and drive for attaining goals. He has a strong grasp of the financial aspects of the business and is more than capable of leveraging sales, margin, expenses, and thus, driving profitability. He is a terrific leader and inspiration."
Melanie Cox, CEO, Backcountry, Formerly Prentice Capital

“As a director of KB Toys, I witnessed the tremendous job Andy did in leading a turnaround at KB Toys. Under Andy's leadership, KB Toys implemented a successful out of court restructuring in the fall/winter of 2007, which led to dramatically improved financial results at KB Toys. Andy is a proven leader who is able to command the loyalty and respect of his fellow employees. I would highly recommend Andy as a consultant to assist in a turnaround of a retail or consumer company.”
Mathew Hoffman, General Counsel, Prentice Capital Management, LP

“Andy is one of the finest retailing executives in the industry. He has a "hands-on" approach and consistently produces great results. Additionally, Andy has always been well respected by his peers and employees. I highly recommend him!”
John C. McDowell, Sam’s Club Vice President, Former EVP Blockbuster

"I reported to Andy as Party City's VP of Merchandise Planning and Allocation. I thoroughly enjoyed working for him. He was the type of boss who constantly challenged his team for new ideas and better ways to attack issues and service the stores. Though he had strong convictions, he was always open to my thoughts and ideas. He was a great partner in developing strategy on organization and supply chain network solutions. He often had ideas or angles to consider that I was not thinking of. I admired Andy's dedication and drive as our senior merchandise and marketing leader. He was constantly in the stores and competition evaluating our effectiveness and looking for better ways to do things. Andy helped us stay focused on servicing our stores and customers. He was a keen student of merchandise and knew the product that would drive the business. I would highly recommend Andy."
Chuck Ellis, Retired, Party City

"Energetic and action oriented, Andy is a great leader and team player. I had the opportunity to be his CFO at KB Toys, and to work closely with him at Toys”R”Us. He leads with integrity, takes care of his people and drives for results. He possesses a superb knowledge of the toy industry and an eye for spotting product trends and hot items. He is a pioneer in the pop-up or temp store space. Andy has an appreciation for the nuts and bolts of retail, and an eye for the details that make a concept successful. I’m grateful for the times I’ve worked with him."
Joel Weist, CFO of KB Toys & SVP of Finance at Toys "R" Us

“I worked closely with Andy during his tenure as CEO of KB toys. Andy is an excellent, hands on leader with a deep understanding of merchandising, operations and financials. The final outcome at KB is not reflective of Andy’s work. KB was largely a victim of the credit crisis that ensued during Q4 of 2008. Much to the contrary, KB was actually meeting its profitability goals and had been comping positively until the crisis broke in the fall. Andy was able to assess the critical needs of the company and quickly develop a plan to restructure and return the company to profitability. Andy executed on every major initiative he put in place and operated with a sense of urgency and professionalism during our time together.”
