Andrew Hatfield
Director of Technical Assistance
Andrew started on the front-line of public service as a firefighter/paramedic in the greater Detroit area. Seeking greater impact, responsibility, and leadership opportunities, Andrew took a position in operations with MSF/Doctors Without Borders. Quickly rising to the role of Field Project Manager, he led emergency and non-emergency interventions throughout Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean.
In that role, Andrew learned the biggest gaps in the public, humanitarian, and development sectors were in resource, operations, and strategic management. Thus, he decided to pursue an MBA at University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. He capped that experience working for a boutique management consulting firm specializing in implementation with the client, always being paid for results. In one year, he established himself well enough to become an independent consultant. Since 2021, Andrew’s primary client has been the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, where he advises the design and implementation of a change management strategy shifting to performance-based contracting.
