The Hi everyone. Today I'm meeting with Christy Down, a self-main entrepreneur and problem solver who started Andy with her co-founder, Catherine Wood.

After working as an executive in the construction industry, building best of breed relationship within the sector, Gracie saw an opportunity to use technology

to improve the way customers connect with contractors when they are making property insurance claims.

This is the way Andy was born as a three-way digital platform combining insurance

construction and contractors where contractors can easily connect, engage and promote their businesses.

So today I'm going to ask Christie about Andy.

I will ask her about her own digital ecosystem.

I will also ask her about a business model

and how she builds leadership and culture within a company.
