Andrew Addison - Vice President of Technical Solutions

Andrew Addison

Andrew’s purpose-driven outlook landed him with IST right out of college in 1999 and since that time he has risen swiftly from Service Specialist to Director of Project Management and then to his current position as Vice President of Technical Solutions.

His primary objectives are planning and execution of IST software systems and he works directly with the development team enhancing existing platforms. Andrew was also instrumental in the development and deployment of IST’s electronic Document Management platforms.

Andrew’s goal for IST’s technology is to have existing applications leverage more automated processes to reduce the number of clicks per user. He is also keen on introducing more analytical metrics for reporting and forecasting.

While working at IST Andrew also served his country for 12 years in the Georgia Air National Guard as an Engineering Assistant for the 116 Air Control Wing. Based in Warner Robbins, Ga, he is an active participant in IST charities, raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Lost-N-Found Youth and other local organizations.
