Andrew Laurier

Chief Strategy Officer Canada · Global perspective

Making the choices that shape the next enterprise.

I help leadership teams make choices about the future of the enterprise. My work connects portfolio direction, growth opportunities and strategic partnerships with the operating and capital decisions needed to act.

Strategy should make a consequential choice clearer. I examine assumptions, alternatives and capability demands, then help the organisation connect its chosen direction with capital, ownership and a disciplined plan to learn.
