Andy Church - CEO, Founder, President
Andy Church is the Founder and President of Insight Quality Services. He is a quality control professional who has strived throughout his career to bring better quality products to the North American and European markets.
In 2002 Andy moved to Shenzhen, China as an inspection, auditing, and testing manager for STR-a company which later went public and was purchased by multi-billion-dollar safety certification company, UL. He spent nearly 9 years at STR, working his way up to the director level by leading international teams through complex transitions, expansions, and periods of rapid growth.
After finishing his time at STR, he transitioned into a role as partner and director at AsianOps, Ltd., which provides single-source supply chain and quality solutions. He then served as CEO of Quality Control Services (QCS), a company that specializes in consumer product inspections, as well as factory evaluations and audits.
After 12 years in China, Andy took the leap into entrepreneurship and founded Insight Quality Services, which he has been running since 2014.
Andy is both a Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) and a Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE), as certified by ASQ. He served as President on the Board of ICPHSO-the International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization-which attracts a global membership of health and safety professionals and hosts the industry's leading annual conference.
