Founder and Managing Partner of CrossNW - Andrew Cross is more of a Renaissance Man than a typical buttoned-up business adviser. His passion and vision to help himself—and others—realize the life and success they desire, is where Cross NW started.

After more than two decades spent transforming under-performing operations into profitable companies, Andrew decided to dive into the world of entrepreneurism. He bid farewell to executive leadership and turned his talents into a bridge to success for other business owners. His tenacious attitude and astute business acumen helped him forge a successful company in the midst of the Great Recession.

With years of experience in the trenches as a small business owner, trusted adviser and valued deal-maker have given Andrew an appreciation for the unique challenges business owners face. He started Cross NW as a way to channel his passion to help entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams. He has worked alongside business owners through sales, mergers and acquisitions, capital formation, private equity, corporate growth strategy, corporate governance and sales growth.
