About Andrew A. Torelli

I have experience leading innovation within the federal government and with foreign partners. I use creative and critical thinking to unlock insights to complex issues in a highly volatile global environment.I resolve problems by creating policies and strategies, and implementing innovative solutions.I mentor and develop leaders, and bring together the right people to create knowledge, mitigate risks, and deliver results. This is fostering work environments of creative thinking and innovation. I also value overcoming complacency and challenging the status quo by promoting a continuum of learning, and striving to make a positive, meaningful, and global social impact. I lead and work with cross-functional teams to pioneer and implement innovative solutions to manage risk in order to protect US security interests and reshape outdated business models. I reimagine the organizations I lead to be prepared for the future. These efforts created communities willing and able to generate new ideas to sustain 360 degree and 24/7 situational awareness to enable decision advantage.
