Andrew Luce
MENTOR / PARTNER / FOUNDER
My father was a physicist/chemist and my mother & stepfather are rooted in spiritual tradition and higher-level education. In order for me to learn to communicate with everyone, I had to find a way to balance technology, spirituality, human behavior and a business mindset. Armed with that knowledge, I leveraged those skills to make choices in my own career. Unexpectedly, merging these worlds of technology and human behavior also offered glimpses into the future of technology and the workplace. My clients now reap the benefit of my creativity, inspiration and experience as I deliver solutions with a balanced, targeted and multi-faceted approach.
Throughout my life, I have honed my own unique sensitivities to intuition and strive to limit the impact of biases that may effect my decision making. I focus on advanced methods of creating clarity, progress and harmony for my clients so that they can reach their own success goals.
Businesses that I started for
high net-worth entrepreneurs
Oftentimes, top entrepreneurs have more than one good idea and need help to implement and capture the opportunity while it exists. In other circumstances, the founders choose to focus on sales, marketing, and public relations for the business and need someone to completely run all operations, hire all the people, and so on.
My clients hire me to help them to see the things that they cannot and then use that information as a basis for building a better plan for a more comprehensive and focused future. While in many cases it is absolutely critical to specialize in your own particular field of endeavor, it is a dangerous platform from which to make decisions if that is your only source of data.
Don’t let these biases influence your thinking
make decisions based on more than only what you know.
Here are a few of the businesses that I started myself and then sold or merged with other companies
There are many reasons that I have started businesses. In most cases it was because I found myself at the intersection of meaningful changes in technology and “the way things have always been done”. In these scenarios, I found that there is the highest probability of adoption and the ability to charge top pricing since the expertise does not commonly exist yet. Many businesses and clients race to adopt for fear of missing out. (FOMO)
