Welcome!

This site highlights my experiences and ideas about work & life.

I enjoy solving problems by connecting people, products, and insights across industries using technology. Previously, I founded Pakira.com. After a successful exit I have been spending my time advising businesses, serving on board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of NH, and building systems for marketing and sales.
​
I am always on the lookout for adventurous friends who like skiing/snowboarding, training weightlifting or MMA, dancing, and discussing philosophy. 

If you'd like to talk, please reach out!

   We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

   Footprints on the sands of time;"

Disrupting Hegemony

"In this episode, Pakira Founder Andrew Gibson discusses the lumber market.
 
Andrew is an entrepreneur and founder of Pakira. Pakira is a community aimed at serving the wholesale wood industry across the entire supply chain. Have the lumber and construction industries resisted change for too long? And that resistance translates into inefficiency experienced by everyone from the forest landowners and the mills to the lumber yards and builders. Built by the industry for the sector - Pakira is disrupting the lumber market, offering members access to industry-wide directories, a chat forum, order tracking, and more. And they aren't just stopping with lumber. Andrew hinted at replicating Pakira's successful model across various commodities markets."
