We are proud to have found such an outstanding candidate, and are excited about the future of Sodali & Co.”

Andrew said, “I am honored to join Sodali & Co. The successes of the firm are impressive, and it is top of the league tables in almost every area it competes in. The potency of having these three practice areas – Shareholder Services, Strategic Communications, Governance & Sustainability – is objectively different from what’s in the market today. I look forward to working with such a talented global team to demonstrate the power of Sodali & Co to our valued clients.”
