About

About Andrew Breaking into AI, or moving into more senior roles in the field, is difficult because much of the advice available online has very little to do with how hiring decisions are actually made or how AI teams operate once you are inside them. I have spent my career inside those environments. I worked during the early GPT-2 and GPT-3 era at OpenAI, led AI product experience at Spotify, and later worked on AI strategy at Coinbase. I work with people who want judgment, not another playbook. Sometimes that means figuring out which roles genuinely fit your background. Sometimes it means understanding why your current approach is not working. And sometimes I will tell you that the opportunity you are chasing is the wrong one. I am not interested in convincing anyone to work with me. I will not chase you after a conversation, manufacture urgency, or turn every interaction into a longer engagement. If you want my perspective and you are ready to do something with it, come find me. And if I think you do not need me, I will tell you that too. https://www.andmaverick.com/

Andrew’s Leadership Coaching Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Associate

Andrew has helped clients get into these companies:

I’ve spent my career building and leading teams at Stripe, OpenAI, Spotify, and Coinbase, and I’ve learned a lot about what separates people who are great at their jobs from people who become genuinely great leaders. Most of the people I coach are already talented and ambitious. They’re usually taking on more responsibility, trying to become more effective with senior executives, building a team, stepping into leadership for the first time, or realizing that what made them successful earlier in their career isn’t enough for where they want to go next. My coaching is practical and very specific to the person in front of me. We might work on how you communicate an idea when the stakes are high, how you make decisions when there isn’t an obvious answer, how you build trust with a new team, how you handle a difficult executive relationship, or how you develop a leadership style that actually feels like yours. I’m interested in helping people become more confident in their own judgment, because that tends to change everything else.

Andrew can help with:

AI Strategy

Why do I coach?

There were points in my career when I genuinely did not know what the next move was. A handful of people gave me something far more valuable than encouragement: their judgment. They told me what they saw, what I was missing, and where I had more opportunity than I realized. Some of those conversations changed my life. I coach because I know what that kind of access can be worth, and I do not think access to it should always depend on what someone can afford. Some of the people I most want to help may never pay me anything. Paid or not, the deal is the same. I will tell you what I think, bring everything I know to the conversation, and trust you to decide what to do with it.
