Andrew Larsen

Job Titles:
  • Director of Business Development
Biography Andrew started his career in the public service sector nearly 20 years ago and he has since moved up through multiple management roles across different industries. In addition to public service, Andrew's background includes work in sales and operations for both private industry and nonprofit. This combination of experiences has led Andrew to the core belief that customer service and common sense will solve almost anything. Over the past decade, Andrew has spent time working with the Association of Washington Business, Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition and Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance. Within all three organizations, he worked closely with businesses of all sizes, from Fortune 100 companies to emerging industries, to understand their needs and to connect them with valuable resources. This type of problem solving through making connections is what Andrew identifies as the most satisfying part of his job. Andrew is a life-long Washington resident and father of two. Having grown up in rural southwest Washington around farms and forests, he still enjoys spending time in nature with his family in the Capital Forest area near his home. When he's not outdoors, Andrew is a fan of watching documentaries, listening to podcasts and reading books about history, leadership, psychology or just about anything else his kids would deem "boring grown-up stuff."

Jim Fortner

Job Titles:
  • Vice President, Procter & Gamble
"Given where Partners International was in 2012-13, we needed a mature Christian who had excellent organizational skills to address various significant operational shortcomings. We were pleased when our search led us to Larry. He had honed and demonstrated a strong skillset that we needed over his years at HP and P&G. Based on his experience of managing some 3,000 employees with a budget of $230 million in 30 countries, he was tasked with translating that corporate experience into leading a much smaller, Christian nonprofit organization that operates in 45 countries. The differences in the contexts of his previous experiences and his new job were significant. Yet, Larry took on that challenge with the confidence that God had prepared him and called him to do just that. He demonstrated an ability to learn the sector very quickly and made commendable efforts to seek mentoring to grow in his knowledge of global Christian ministry. Within the organization, Larry implemented several structures and systems ... which simply didn't exist but were desperately needed. He also demonstrated a serious commitment to prayer and led his staff by example on seeking God. Larry has also demonstrated a personal passion and sacrificial generosity towards the organization."

Subroto Mukerji

Job Titles:
  • Vice President and General Manager, Hewlett - Packard
"I am writing this letter to commend Larry Andrews as a person of exceptional character, competency and compassion. I have known Larry for eight years as pastor, elder and friend, and he has served as a strategic planning consultant for our church. Larry, as a key leader at North Church, has time and again provided consulting, wisdom and a thoughtful approach helping us to break out of plateaus and take new ground as a mission-driven church. I have rarely seen people like Larry who bring with them high levels of expertise and great corporate success who also have a humble servant spirit. For example, Larry has served on a board called Serve Spokane, which is a nonprofit compassion ministry in our city, and I have seen him time and again help with the hurting and provide Christ-like servant leadership. Larry has a very healthy emotional intelligence and knows how to lead up, across to peers and lead those serving under his stewardship. I highly recommend Larry Andrews for any organization looking for someone of high character, competency and compassionate leadership."
