“I have great respect and regard for Andy on a professional and personal level. I had the pleasure of working closely with him this past year on a research project analyzing global business trends and strategies in life sciences. This project has been greatly appreciated by CIO’s in over 20 large pharma, biotech and medical device manufacturing companies.
He is a high energy leader with strong domain expertise in health-sciences. He has great ability to simplify complex scenarios and promptly boil down problems to their root causes. I look forward to continue to closely work with Andy in the future as his knowledge and expertise are constantly thought provoking.”

Response to Andy's Thought Leadership Blogpost on Personalized Medicine, November 2007:

"Andy, Thank you for sending me your blogpost on the Personalized Medicine Conference at the Harvard Medical School on the 29th and 30th of November, 2007.
I think that it is extraordinarily well-done. You have captured, it seems to me, the main ideas and challenges coming out of the conference.
These are indeed the issues the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC) wishes to address. We would welcome SAP’s joining us, and especially your participation in our efforts."
