Leadership with
‍Vision and Experience

Andy founded VDB Wealth after building and scaling multiple successful businesses. His background spans institutional finance, family office investing, and entrepreneurship, shaping his high-touch approach to wealth management.
‍
Classically Trained Investor: Andy's career began at Deutsche Bank, trading foreign exchange and derivatives, before shifting to long-term investing at Ocean Road Advisors, where he helped manage a $1 billion portfolio for a single family. He later became a Principal at Kingfish Group, focusing on private equity investments across business services, industrials, and software.

Successful Entrepreneur: Andy co-founded WeHero, a volunteer management software and service company, which he grew and successfully sold to WizeHive (LLR Partners) in 2023. Following the acquisition, he served as COO and led the company’s integration after its strategic merger with Submittable (Accel-KKR). In this role, he was responsible for eliminating over $20 million in costs from a $55 million ARR business.

Beyond VDB Wealth, Andy is an owner of Pono Ventures, a growth marketing agency, and PE Lists, a private equity data service.

Family Focused: A Colby College graduate and Milwaukee native, he now prefers warmer climates, reserving winter for vacations. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, spending time with his family, and being a self-proclaimed mediocre athlete. His wife is a therapist, and his 2-year-old son is obsessed with cars.
