Meet the Team

Andrew has built an extensive career working in finance for software, healthcare, and technology startups. He received his MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and specializes in helping companies scale. As the CFO of Riskalyze, Andrew used his broad experiences to help the company quickly scale operations. In two years, the revenue of the company tripled. He was accountable for HR operations, talent acquisition, billing, tax accounting, applications engineering, contracts, and creating a financial planning and analysis function. Andrew also leveraged best–of–breed business processes learned while at the Dow 30 companies earlier in his career to help them grow in a scalable fashion.

At Hughes Private Capital, Andrew is busy refining company–wide processes, notably implemented cost centers across the company to monitor the profitability of our product lines and provide a secondary benefit by holding our functional team leaders accountable for their spending, which impacts bottom line asset performance.

Katie has recently shifted her focus from Administration to serving as the Investor Relations Program Manager.  In this role she oversee projects, facilitates communications between Investor Relations (IR) and other departments, and streamlines processes for the growing team.  Her innate capacity for organization and attention to detail, along with her love for strong and consistent communication, led Katie to Hughes Private Capital, where she uses these skills to assist the IR team so they can do what they do best: serve investors.  Katie thrives on the IR team with the support and direction of Stacy, whom Katie attributes is the team’s anchor.

Katie enjoyed living in Reno for eight years until “the pull of the south was too much to resist,”  which led her to relocate closer to family.  Thankfully, Hughes Capital continues to be her second family, and she has been able to seamlessly transition to a remote setting while retaining her position.  Outside of work, Katie enjoys exploring her new home of Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
