Now, as CEO and founder of Torbridge Capital, he invests in healthcare and learning and development businesses.

In this episode, Andrew shares his career story and reveals how he has applied a ‘mission leadership’ model in the business world. He also discusses the highs and lows of selling a business, and what armed forces veterans can bring to the private sector.
