Meet Andy Cole
Executive, Engineer, Consultant, Coach
Founder of Mainspring
Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside so many talented and powerful leaders. But – for most of them – there existed a barrier: A ceiling that was keeping them from growing in the way they wanted, achieving what they wanted, and leading in a way that makes them proud. Because I have such a strong belief in human potential, I have become utterly obsessed with this phenomenon, and I am committed to helping leaders identify their barriers, break through them, and accomplish great things.
​
With 15 years of experience as a business executive, renewables engineer, strategy consultant, and leadership coach, I have a deep appreciation for the challenges my clients face; and I pride myself on having the unique ability to gain insight through empathy, build authentic relationships, and communicate in a way that shifts old thought patterns and inspires meaningful action.
