Meet Andy Young
Andy’s understanding and navigation of evolving customer communication technologies has spanned 35+ years, starting at the tender age of 9 while working in the family’s printing business before leaving to found Emerge, a pioneer of Adobe Acrobat and PDF technologies, at just 25.
Through decades of being on the forefront of technology innovation, Andy’s understanding of the critical importance of all forms of communication has been the foundation of his entire career. With the success of Emerge, which was sold to Ikon Business (now Ricoh USA), his professional path has wound through all aspects of the communications spectrum, spending 7 years developing one of the first contextual e-commerce platforms for connecting authorized artist merchandise in streaming music, an early predecessor to online merch selling solutions adopted on popular streaming services such as Spotify, before joining industry giant Ricoh Global Software and Services and Keypoint Intelligence.
His commitment to the industry and spirit of innovation has been well-honed through every stage of his expansive career development from technician to founder, owner, executive and entrepreneur.
