Andrew first conceived of the idea for The Marque when, after researching former mentors and colleagues online, he realized information about individuals is often unorganized, inaccurate and outdated. Seeing a significant gap in the market, he set out to build a digital profile management platform that provides leaders in their field with an accurate, current and clearly presented online profile that offers privacy and security from unwanted solicitation.
Andrew’s entrepreneurial work ethic is complemented by an innovative mindset and a natural feel for communication and collaboration. After leaving behind a first-class cricket career in his native South Africa, he ventured to the UK where he held senior roles at J.P. Morgan and Carphone Warehouse (later Frontiers Capital). Moving his focus to innovative start-ups, Andrew assisted in the launch of Marquis Jet in Europe (later sold to NetJets) following their launch in the US, and served as CEO of Storm Solutions, a telecommunications business which he successfully exited in 2012.moreless
Storm Solutions was a leading provider of best-in-class, future-proof communications and IT services. Working in partnership with Storm Solutions, many of the UK’s best-known brands and retailers benefited from thought-leadership as well as information about changes in technology, legislation and working practices.
The prepaid Marquis Jet Card provided access to NetJets - the worldwide leader of private aviation - 25 hours at a time. Andrew assisted with the launch of Marquis Jet in Europe, whilst based in London. Marquis Jet’s headquarters are in New York City, NYC. The organisation became a subsidiary of NetJets, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, in 2010.
The Marque Founder Andrew Wessels says individuals should view their online presence as a digital portfolio, containing assets and liability. Successful people should recognise it as such and set about creating the right portfolio for them and their needs in business.
