Andrew Graham

I’ve had the fortune of working with Andrew at three different life science companies, all at different stages of growth, including during multiple complex equity and debt financings.  Andrew brings an ability to assess where an organization is currently situated, both financially and operationally, and the perspective of where the organization needs to improve in order to scale for growth.  He has demonstrated a solid ability to build strong teams while also being willing to roll-up his sleeves to get the work out.  I have greatly appreciated his knack for addressing potential challenges early and with well-researched solutions.  He has also demonstrated a high-level of stress tolerance and imparts a sense of calm to those around him.

When I joined AgBiome Innovations as the commercial director in 2013, Andrew was already on board as the CFO.  He proved to be a valuable asset in numerous ways during the next 6 years that I worked with him. He has excellent communication skills; always used clear concise messaging to my group regarding budgeting and financial requirements and results. Andrew is very knowledgeable of the financial reporting requirements for startups, and his interest in our business was very useful.  Andrew also assisted my team on a product and company acquisitions effort, as well as a multiple equity funding rounds.  My team was very comfortable in working with Andrew and had a tremendous amount of respect for him. Finally, Andrew makes people feel very comfortable in work situations which in turn makes them want to help him in any way possible.
