Andrew Strauss

Sir Andrew Strauss is a legendary figure in British sport, recognised as one of only three England captains to achieve Ashes triumphs both at home and on foreign soil. A distinguished opening batsman who scored over 7,000 runs during his international career, he famously marked his Test debut at Lord's with a century. Under his disciplined and intelligent leadership, the England national side rose to become the top-ranked Test team in the world. Beyond his playing days, Sir Andrew transitioned into high-level administration, serving as the Director of Cricket for the England and Wales Cricket Board. He was instrumental in designing the long-term strategies that revitalised the national team following a period of decline. Today, he continues to apply his expertise in elite performance as the managing director of Mindflick, a company specialising in psychometric solutions for high-pressure environments. Known for his composure and professionalism, Sir Andrew is a compelling speaker on the mechanics of building a winning culture. He offers audiences a masterclass in how to align a group of high-performing individuals behind a unified vision, drawing on his unique perspective as both a tactical leader on the pitch and a strategic executive in the boardroom. On stage, Andrew Strauss is best known for talks on Leadership, Teamwork and Resilience.
