“Over the past 10 years, Andy has been an invaluable partner, consultant, representative, forerunner (the list goes on) in the telecom and universal communications sector. Even though it has ‘only’ been just over 10 years, it truly feels like Andy and I have been working together for well over 20 years because Andy has exceptionally strong interpersonal skills, a humble attitude, and brings a calming presence to every situation. Additionally, Andy has a keen sense and professional acumen that is unique when communicating and providing counsel to all levels of leadership, ownership groups, C-Suite, local managers, even down to the new hire that is having first day phone jitters.
The most current project Andy partnered with me on is our RFP and transition from on-premise PBX to cloud phone service (UCaaS). When it comes to RFP’s and details, I leave no stone unturned, and thankfully Andy was there with me in the trenches, meeting after meeting, call after call, and even when at the 11th hour, it became clear that we needed to pivot to a different UcaaS provider and partner with Ring Central. Andy never batted an eye and she provided just the right perspective and consultation.
Overall, Andy and her latest venture, Cloud9, fills the much needed gap in the network and telecom space. Andy’s expertise, overall historic, current, and future trending knowledge and direction in the telecom, network, and universal communication fields is unmatched. There should be zero hesitation partnering with her and Cloud9. I certainly look forward to the next 10 years of success (and friendship) with Andy!”
