Andrew was the lead behavioural scientist for Nesta's sustainable future mission.

He was seconded from the Behavioural Insights Team, where he was a senior advisor in their Energy and Sustainability team. Andrew manages BIT's work with BEIS assessing energy suppliers’ estimate of the impact of smart meters, manages BIT’s partnership with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland assessing the evidence of new energy-saving products’ impact on energy consumption, and works with energy and water companies to increase households’ resource efficiency.

Before coming to BIT, Andrew was one of the first 20 employees at Bulb, at the time a fast-growing energy supplier start-up. Other previous experience includes work as a project manager at Feedback, an anti-food-waste environmental campaigning organisation, and helping start Toast, a social enterprise making beer from bread that would have otherwise been thrown away.

He has a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Stanford University, where he focused on environmental economics.
