Customer Reviews

Pat Patel, Content Director Money20/20

Andrew Vorster was a fantastic speaker & moderator at Legal Techfest recently in Sydney. I would strongly urge you to take the time to listen to him and his idea’s and you just might come away with a “gem”.

Stephen L. van Dorp, CFO and COO Mullins Lawyers

Andrew was asked to deliver an “innovation ignition” talk to a large audience of our business subject matter experts. Before doing so he ensured that he was equipped with an understanding of our business and the challenges faced. His presentation was energetic, insightful and infectious. He cleverly explored a range of relevant innovative technologies which both broadened and challenged our thinking.

Guy Juniper, Head of IT Apetito

I found Andrew’s enthusiasm so contagious that it was lightening up people all around him – rain or shine. Some times I thought that if there was a generator attached it could light up the whole country. Andrew is clearly a thought leader, especially when it comes to innovation and IT strategy. He also has a great skill to communicate the complicated matters of technology in simple manner that also made him an excellent public speaker – you should definitely visit one of the events where Andrew is on the list!
