Andy Schmidt → Cofounder and Chief Community Officer

Why I work for Seismic:

To bring together bright, talented, values-aligned professionals to create positive social and environmental impact at scale, by helping our clients be forces for good in the world.

My experience:

I was an internal corporate practitioner for many years, and now work as a trusted external impact advisor. I really enjoy helping organisations accelerate their sustainability journey and bringing communities together to generate real change.

Some companies I’ve worked with:

Skype, innocent, Microsoft, Ramborn, Degroof Petercam, Luxexpo, Coca-Cola European Partners, Sipsmith, Lily’s Kitchen, TED, Facebook and NASA.

A seismic change I’d like to see in the future:

I’d like to see the private sectors’ attitudes towards collaboration and transparency change, as I believe it is going to require radical collaboration and transparency to create the change we need in the world.

Where I like to be:

I was born and raised in a small town in the US, with the family name Schmidt, only to spend the second half of my life as an expat living in Germany. I’m now based in Luxembourg.
