MEDIA RELEASE TUESDAY 4 FEBRUARY: 

Fisher Leadership is pleased to announce new Partner, Andrew Medard, will be joining the team this week. Andrew brings 15 years of executive search and recruitment experience across private sector senior leadership positions. Combining his wealth of knowledge in commercial leadership skills with Fisher Leadership’s emphasis on positive impact, Andrew believes there has never been a better time to bring together future skills throughout public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

 

Andrew commenced his finance and accounting career in London and Sydney, honing his skills in large companies such as Hewlett Packard as a Business Analyst for several divisions, before joining the recruitment industry in 2004. Having built a prominent reputation, Andrew founded amge+ in 2009 and has specialised in connecting talent to executive positions in the areas of finance, systems & technology and General Management roles across Commercial, Procurement and HR divisions.

 

Andrew is passionate about mobilising the future skills needed to harness the new digital economy. He says, ‘For leaders and businesses to continue to evolve and improve, we need to proactively challenge the status quo on the types of people, skills and thinking styles they need to develop or bring into their business.’ Andrew points to his depth of operational and talent-based knowledge in the financial sector, where ‘human skills’ such as cross-functional team leadership and HR are ranking as some of the fastest-growing skills for financial leaders both globally (increasing by 11% and 8% respectively) and locally (increasing by 5% and 7% respectively)1.

 

Andrew is also committed to promoting emerging ways of working. Balancing his own family life with his career, Andrew is keen to ensure the next wave of leadership champions diverse backgrounds, an openness to emerging trends and an appreciation of the importance of personal growth. Managing Director of Fisher Leadership, Michelle Loader, comments ‘Andrew offers high-value outcomes for clients bringing together his enterprise knowledge of how businesses succeed with his intimate understanding of what motivates leaders. He recognises the value of having an integrated, thriving personal life as well as a challenging and fulfilling professional life.’ 

 

Andrew notes that he feels ‘a natural values fit’ with the Fisher Leadership team. He attributes the decision to come onboard as a new partner to the opportunity ‘to thrive as a part of a collaborative team; one that positively supports, challenges and cares for each other as we strive to achieve great outcomes for those in our ecosystem and for ourselves.’
