Andrew commenced his professional career with the NSW Police in 1994 and received his designation as a Detective in 1999.
Andrew worked as a detective in Sydney’s Inner West before specialising in Armed Robbery investigations prior to joining the Counter Terrorism Command in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
While attached to the Counter Terrorism Command Andrew was seconded to a multi-agency task force which was tasked with investigating the manufacturing and use of high quality counterfeit identification documents. This led Andrew into Financial Crime investigations where he remained for the rest of his Police career, concluding in 2018 at the State Crime Command Fraud and Cybercrime Squad.
The final Task Force Andrew ran was Strike Force Ravens. ‘Ravens’ was involved in the investigation of systemic fraud in the NSW CTP Insurance scheme. ‘Ravens’ coordinated the efforts of insurers, law enforcement and regulators and resulted in $400 million dollars’ worth of claims being eliminated from the scheme resulting in significant decreases in costs for consumers.
After leaving law enforcement Andrew worked in business consulting, before commencing as the inaugural CEO of the Counter Fraud function at the ICA in June of 2024.
Andrew aims to coordinate the extensive intelligence capacities across the Insurance Industry to identify organised and systemic fraud, then work with law enforcement and regulatory bodies to identify strategic enforcement targets with a goal to drive down the incidence of fraud for the benefit of consumers.
