Andy Hickey
Andy has called Auckland home since 2008 when he arrived for what was meant to be a six-month working holiday from his native Ireland. Having started his career in finance, working for global investment banks and boutique fund managers in Auckland & Dublin, Andy took his first step into recruitment in 2014 when he joined a leading international recruitment firm in Auckland.
Andy has over 12 years’ recruitment experience, specialising in mid to senior finance and leadership roles for organisations – typically at Head of Finance, CFO, Finance Controller, Commercial Manager and Finance Manager level – and has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for organisations navigating critical finance hires.
Andy is sport mad, he will watch and/or play just about anything (when he’s not injured!) – especially if it’s football or a [casual] marathon.
When Andy isn’t out running the streets or attempting to re-capture his glory days on the football pitch, he can be found spending time with his wife or running around after his two kids Sophie and Liam.
