Professional Journey

Andrews trained as an accountant, qualifying as a CPA and working at a Big Four firm before moving into government contracting. MetroStar’s leadership page describes him as a GovCon financial strategist with more than fifteen years of experience, and the company’s September 2026 announcement puts his federal contracting career at seventeen years, twelve of them at MetroStar.

At MetroStar he has been responsible for financial growth, pricing strategy and what the company calls operational resilience. The company credits his financial leadership with consecutive years of profitability and debt-free operations through economic and federal budget disruption, and with pricing approaches that helped government customers work around talent shortages and procurement inefficiencies. He led proposal pricing on a run of the company’s largest wins, including full-and-open competitions in artificial intelligence. Co-founder and CEO Ali Reza Manouchehri has described him as having been “at the center of nearly every defining moment in MetroStar’s history, from our graduation out of small-business status to the Veritas partnership to now, our merger with Steampunk.”

Those transactions reshaped the company in quick succession. In November 2025 Veritas Capital announced an agreement to acquire MetroStar, and MetroStar now describes itself as a Veritas portfolio company. On 4 August 2026 Veritas announced a definitive agreement to acquire Steampunk, a McLean, Virginia firm known for its Design Intelligence delivery approach, and merge it with MetroStar, with closing expected in the third quarter of 2026. Under the announced leadership arrangement, Manouchehri is to lead the combined company as CEO, Steampunk CEO Matt Warren as President, and Andrews as CFO. Andrews directed the financial diligence on both deals.

The recognition followed. He was a finalist for Private Company CFO of the Year in the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s 2026 Tech CFO Awards, and in September 2026 he was named Top GovCon CFO of the Year at the GovCon Summit. “When our financial foundation is disciplined, our teams are more competitive, move faster, and give agencies the confidence to bring us their toughest challenges,” he said on receiving it.
