WORK HISTORY

ABOUT ANDREW CLIST

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be an engineer. I loved Lego and Meccano. Aged 3, I got hold of a screwdriver, and handed my Dad a big pile of screws. He never did find where they all came from. This passion carried me through college. All 9 years of it (that does include a BEng, MSc and PhD) Now I\'ve got over 20 years experience working in packaging and NPD, and a wealth of Innovation experience, project managing new brands from concept to consumers\' lips- I\'m a supply chain guy with experience from end to end- The project manager who used to get handed problems to solve that others had given up on- The operations person moving projects all round the world- A hands-on team-builder who\'s not afraid to get his hands dirty- A technical expert who can explain complex processes to the cleaner or the CEO- A mentor and consultant to startups and entrepreneurs- An engineer but also an ex-professional musician with two published novels and a coffee habit- Oh, and I used to run a Whiskey distillery and love to talk about it.
