Andrew Paterson is a revered (apparently) Professor of Practice teaching Strategy, Innovation & Entrepreneurship. His teaching is unconventional and rooted in mistakes and real-life utility — not textbook theory. He taught at INSEAD, HEC, LBS, and RBS and is currently at EDHEC, ESCP & KEDGE. He writes about adventures in innovative education on his blog The Unrecycled Educator. Andrew mentors a few select founders, currently Runnrz, and remains actively involved in several early-stage ventures soon to be announced. He’s currently invested in Dryk, SP3D, Mapstr, Drone Ag, HelloSubs. Previously he founded, co-founded, advised or led bizdev in over 25 ventures, including Birdseye, Laneo, GuidiGO, Doblet, SharePay, IDEN, Maybe, Allassa, CityMapper, Hyves and Neardesk. He also worked on frontier tech at Google (Glass & Tango), and spent time at Boardriders, Compass Group, Shell, and Hertz. Andrew also runs workshops for Startups & SMB’s with the CCI-NA & Région NA, and occasionally jumps into public-private initiatives. He refuels by getting away from the crowd in Finistère, hiking in the French Basque Country, slacklining, and traveling, and spends his spare time crafting children’s books, taking photos of doors, and paying it forward.
