Summary
Andrew Ratcliffe is a Presales Solutions Consultant with over four decades of hands-on experience in SAS technology and a deep specialization in Life Sciences, having first worked with SAS in 1983 and with life sciences clients since 1991. He blends technical mastery with business-focused consulting, repeatedly translating complex analytics and platform challenges into pragmatic, auditable solutions across healthcare, finance, retail and government. Andrew has led global platform builds and migrations (notably large SAS grid and Viya strategies), run product and solution ownership for cloud-first clinical data platforms, and driven practice growth and pre-sales at enterprise vendors. He is as comfortable mentoring delivery teams and defining architecture as he is leading high-stakes client engagements and change programmes. Based in Guildford, England, he combines a strategic, stakeholder-aware approach with a rare depth of legacy-to-modernisation experience that helps organisations extract measurable value from analytics investments. A detail that often surprises: he ran his own analytics consultancy since 1986 before rejoining vendor and enterprise roles, giving him both entrepreneurial and large-programme perspectives.
