Andy Jones

Andy Jones is a Partner in Stroud International. He has driven Stroud's significant growth in the capital-intensive, heavy industry segments of Chemicals, Oil and Gas, and Mining by building long-term, mutually beneficial client relationships. His clients and he are justifiably proud of enduring achievements such as increasing plant throughput  by 140% without capital expenditure, reducing failures by 95% and doubling inventory turns for global chemical companies, and creating several billion dollars in NPV for a Canadian oil and gas producer.  He has dramatically improved business processes and supply chains when conventional wisdom said little improvement was possible.

Mr. Jones' core approach mirrors Stroud's: meaningful improvement starts with clear and compelling results. He fundamentally believes that every business contains vast latent opportunity that, when truly unearthed and understood, will prompt a fundamental change in strategy.

Mr. Jones graduated from Cambridge University with a Masters in Chemical Engineering and a PGC in Design, Manufacturing and Management.  Prior to consulting he worked as an Operator, Engineer, and Technical and Operations Manager in chemical process and consumer goods companies including Unilever. He credits that early experience with giving him practical insight on organizations' inner workings and behaviors, as well as forming his pragmatic "get stuck in and get it done" approach to delivering results.

Mr. Jones enjoys family time with his wife and two sons.  As an avid swimmer he tends to gravitate to anything that involves water.  When not traveling for business or pleasure he resides north of Boston, Massachusetts.
