He offers a proven track record in driving and guiding growth in SMEs, from start-ups to mature businesses, leveraging strong communications skills and the ability to lead people and work with teams in executing strategic objectives.
Andrew’s knowledge and expertise extends across financial, operational and executive management, in addition to significant experience in managing stakeholder and investor relationships, including capital and financing requirements in a performance-based culture.
Prior to founding Roland Investments, Andrew was the longest serving executive director at Study Group, one of the world’s largest private education providers, with revenues exceeding AUD$600 million per annum. Over a period of 17 years Andrew was instrumental in the growth of the business from a one-school, 80-student start-up college to a leading global education group. During this time, he lived in the UK, USA and Australia as the business grew to 50,000 students recruited from 170 countries, with 50 campuses throughout the UK, USA, Ireland, Australia and NZ,
In addition to gaining merger and acquisition, strategic development and operational management experience throughout this growth, he also gained significant private equity experience through three realisation processes and working with a number of co-owners including CHAMP and Providence Equity Partners.
Prior to his time at Study Group, Andrew was involved with a number of multinationals within the healthcare, automotive and financial services sectors.
His current work with Roland Investments has seen him continue to build his local, national and global network, working directly with a range of businesses on a wide range of investment and consulting projects.
He currently serves as a non-executive Board Director for EC Language Centres, a privately-owned Malta-based company which has 17 schools in USA, UK, Malta and South Africa, specialising in teaching English Language as part of the language travel industry. The company’s educational maxim is ‘helping students succeed in a global community’.

Combining a structured professional development program and a quality Australian Internship our students have outstanding employment outcomes.
