What our partners say about working with us:
The first person I brought on soon after I took over at Ionic Materials was Andrew Cole. The 10 year old Solid State Battery Company needed to go through a dramatic transition from a founder led technology experiment to a fully functioning company capable of capitalizing on its exciting technology in an exciting space if it was to thrive.
Andrew worked closely with me to clearly articulate where we wanted the business to go and the organization needed to support our objectives. Once our objectives were clearly defined we went about dismantling the legacy organization and rebuilding. It was a challenging 6 months for the company but we have now come out as a highly focused organization with a drive to to succeed. Supporting this transformation was Andrew’s leadership on re-imagining the Company’s core values, how we hire, train and retrain staff and implementing a company wide OKR (objectives and key results) framework to drive the business forward.
Not only is Andrew the most knowledgeable person I have ever worked with on organization design and implementation of that design but he has a wicked sense of humor, is hugely energetic and a joy to work closely with. I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for assistance turning their company into a high-performance entity.
Andrew is the real deal. If you’re looking for a change agent to build a winning culture based on trust, healthy debate, and accountability, there is no one better than Andrew.
This goes far beyond just being a “trusted advisor”… those are a dime a dozen. Andrew’s hands-on toolkit includes creating meaningful leadership retreats, implementing goal setting systems such as OKRs to drive transformation, and bringing in coaches tailored to individual executives’ needs.
Most importantly, Andrew does all of this with an unquestionable character. To put it succinctly, I’d recommend Andrew to anyone… except my fiercest competitors!
