Andy has a long history of executive leadership, having grown his previous company, First Advantage, through a series of 60 acquisitions in five years. First Advantage Litigation Consulting was rebranded to Consilio in February 2013. Since then, Andy has grown Consilio into one of the largest providers of managed services in the world, overseeing a series of significant acquisitions.
Consilio is a global legal and eDiscovery services provider operating in 11 countries across the globe; Andy reports that “we provide these services across multiple jurisdictions and time zones, but our view is that we deliver the same service and the same product wherever you happen to be with us.” Consilio provides services from consulting to forensic collections, processing, document review, and production services; Andy also reports a “full suite of data scientists dig in on an analytic standpoint.” Consilio also offers a proprietary platform, Sightline, which is a tool that is geared toward self-service eDiscovery.
