Andrew Fernholz leads Ambient Consulting as Chief Executive Officer, bringing over 25 years of expertise in IT services, management consulting, go-to-market IT product strategy, and business strategy. His career began on Wall Street, where he spent five years raising capital for IPOs during the Telecom and Dotcom boom. There, he saw how even the most promising innovations failed—not from lack of funding but from a lack of the right talent. That insight led him to IT consulting, where he has spent his career helping organizations bridge the gap between technology and the people who make it work.

Drew has spent years building and optimizing nearshore and offshore delivery centers, helping Fortune 100 companies scale their operations with high-performing global teams. He developed the Competency Model, a proprietary skills assessment tool widely used for project-based consulting and internal talent development. With experience across manufacturing, banking, healthcare, insurance, technology, and retail, he has led initiatives that deliver measurable business impact.

For Drew, innovation has always been at the core of solving complex problems. As CEO, he is committed to pushing Ambient forward—continuing to evolve how organizations approach technology, talent, and transformation. His focus remains on aligning people, processes, and technology to create forward-thinking solutions that drive long-term business success.
