Earlier in his career Andrew worked as a banker at Barclays de Zoete Wedd and Robert Fleming & Co. before moving into financial printing and virtual data solutions.

Commenting on Andrew's appointment, Bulent Osman, Sales & Marketing Director, Framework, said, "With an increasing regulatory burden placed on the private equity industry, we are seeing a significant growth in global demand for our Framework software. Andrew's excellent experience in providing consultancy and solutions to private equity firms at a senior level will undoubtedly help us to capitalise further on this growing interest in Framework. I am delighted to welcome Andrew to the team."
