Listen "How a HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR helped me achieve great SUCCESS in TECH"
Episode Synopsis
This is the fifteenth episode of Season 2 of The Broke Architect Podcast!
This show is brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA).
In this episode, we talk to Andrew Holt, an ex-architectural Technologist and Product designer. He pivoted out of architecture and is now a visionary, hands-on Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with expertise in delivering enterprise-level Digital Engineering and Digital Asset Management architectures for complex project delivery.
The founder of REBIM Cloud Collaboration Software (rebim.io), REBIM for SharePoint and Azurelope limited. A domain expert in the field of data-driven Enterprise Asset Management, Andrew lives and breathes through the company’s technology. Andrew has worked in various sectors including Nuclear, Healthcare, Civil Aviation, Defence, Football Stadia, Hotels, Commercial & Office, Food & Retail and Hi-value Residential properties, having worked in key roles on several projects.
We discuss why Andrew left the profession and moved into TECH. We discuss the success and failures and how employing the services of an ex-hostage negotiator led to a change in how he changed everything in his life, reinventing his beliefs and as such has become incredibly successful in gaining large defence contracts whilst maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Please REMEMBER the Podcast is supporting the important work of The Architects Benevolent Society, which was founded in 1850 and exists to support the architectural community and their families and can help architects in a range of ways during their working life, or once they have retired. https://www.absnet.org.uk/get-help/
