What attracted you to SGS Maine Pointe?
I had worked with Maine Pointe founder Steve Bowen at a previous company. When he started Maine Pointe, he called - and I said YES. There were five of us in the beginning. That was 20 years ago. The commitment to quality, character and teamwork was key in the beginning and still holds true today.
What part of your day-to-day work do you most look forward to?
The interaction with the Business Development team and the ability to help when they have questions is a great feeling. Starting and ending the day listening to the teams objectives and their results can be inspiring. It always amazes me that they can pick up the phone and call a complete stranger and set that initial meeting just on their message alone.
What are you most proud of at SGS Maine Pointe?
Watching it grow. From only five employees to start, to the first All Hands meeting in Florida, to the 100+ attendees at our last meeting fills me with pride. Knowing I may have had even a small part in that growth is amazing.
What keeps you busy outside of your professional life?
Faith and Family are everything. Visiting kids and attending their sporting events are so much fun. Shopping! Currently antiques, resale shoppes, or going out for ice cream are my passions. I also have three dogs that keep me on my toes and give me a hard time during our internal calls.
Maine Pointe is proud to announce Andy Elberson, Procurement Consultant, as our Delivery Star for March, in recognition of his exceptional performance across multiple engagements.
Andy is distinctive along many consulting toolkit dimensions:
In several Aerospace & Defense engagements, Andy led procurement workstreams focused on Tooling, MRO, and Outside Processing across multiple business units. His contributions consistently enabled teams to exceed high targets by 20-30% while establishing foundations for continued success.
In his current role with an A&D repair client, Andy has been pivotal in uniting diverse teams from operations, finance, and procurement into a cohesive unit, becoming a trusted leader driving significant impact. His initiatives are projected to deliver the majority of the client's expected results.
Thank you, Andy, for your dedication, outstanding work, and positive impact on both clients and the Maine Pointe team. We look forward to your continued success!
