Since establishing Meraki Talent in 2015, Andrew has led the business from an ambitious start-up into an international organisation with offices across the UK and a global client base spanning banking, investment management, professional services, accountancy and finance, legal, technology, risk, compliance, human resources and executive leadership.

Andrew's expertise extends well beyond recruitment. He works closely with senior executives, boards and business leaders to advise on talent strategy, organisational growth, succession planning, executive appointments and workforce planning. His understanding of how talent shapes business performance has made him a trusted advisor to organisations navigating periods of expansion, transformation and change.

Throughout his career, Andrew has remained passionate about developing high-performing teams and creating an environment where people can build rewarding, long-term careers. He believes that outstanding recruitment is built on relationships rather than transactions, combining market intelligence, honesty and a genuine commitment to delivering the right outcome for clients and candidates alike.

Innovation has also been central to Andrew's vision for Meraki. Alongside the company's continued expansion across specialist recruitment, he has overseen the growth of executive search, international recruitment and statement of work talent solutions, ensuring clients have access to flexible, scalable services that meet the evolving demands of today's employment market.

Known for his entrepreneurial mindset and straightforward leadership style, Andrew continues to drive Meraki's long-term strategy while remaining closely connected to clients, candidates and the markets the business serves. His focus remains on building a business recognised not only for the quality of its recruitment, but for the lasting partnerships it creates and the positive impact it has on the organisations and people it supports.

A 2023 EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, away from work Andrew is a former international age-group rugby player who enjoyed a long career with Watsonians FC - now mostly found cheering from the sidelines at Murrayfield.
