Andy Ellwood is a technology troubadour and wartime consigliere. Born with the gift of gab and raised with an overdeveloped self esteem. While making a name for himself with his caffeine fueled hustle, he's seen more than his fair share of ups and downs on the journey of the entrepreneur. He currently serves at President for StockUp and Founding Trustee for Exosphere.

Previously Andy led business development and partnerships for Gowalla through its acquisition by Facebook 2011 and for Waze through its acquisition by Google in 2013.

Andy's unique point of view on the world has been seen in publications like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and as a contributor to Forbes. He is a sought after speaker on the topics of sales, new business development, and our place in the digital world we're creating. Andy has consulted companies such as BMW, American Airlines, and, most recently, HBO's Silicon Valley on the mindset and philosophies of current start-up culture and entrepreneurship. @andyellwood
