Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Somervell is a founder and product-technology leader with 25 years of experience scaling fintech, media, events, and SaaS businesses and a strong track record of acquisitions and exits. He builds cross-functional teams that marry behavioural, technical and visual design to ship customer-focused software in complex, regulated industries and has led an IPO and multiple high-impact product launches. Andrew has driven large transformations—from cloud-native business banking and straight-through insurance origination to CMS and audience platforms—delivering dramatic efficiency and conversion gains. Now based in San Francisco, he’s founding an AI-native future-of-work startup that applies his pattern of rapid iteration, data-driven intuition, and operational scaling to early-stage opportunities. An often-overlooked strength is his regulatory and stakeholder navigation—proven both in public events and heavily regulated financial projects—which lets product strategy succeed where many fail.
