We lead with respect for the people who build companies and a belief that partnership, clarity, and disciplined execution create the strongest outcomes.
Our approach is grounded in real operating experience — showing up inside the business, strengthening what works, and helping teams move with alignment and momentum.
Our leadership brings decades of operating, investing, and company‑building experience across mission‑critical software. We’ve led teams through inflection points, scaled products and go‑to‑market engines, integrated acquisitions, and built the systems that support durable growth. That experience shapes how we partner today — with clarity, discipline, and a deep respect for the people who build companies.
Founder & Managing Partner
Andy has spent his career building and scaling mission‑critical software companies in environments where clarity, discipline, and operating depth matter most. As CEO of Sovos, he helped grow the business from $210M to more than $5B in enterprise value, leading 40+ integrations across global markets and building one of the industry’s most respected operating systems.
Before founding Winova, Andy held leadership roles across multiple private‑equity–backed platforms, partnering with founders, operators, and investors to navigate inflection points, strengthen commercial engines, and build organizations capable of sustained performance.
Winova reflects his belief that enduring value is created when disciplined investing meets operator‑led execution — and when founders have a partner who shows up with judgment, clarity, and respect for the people doing the work.
Winova’s extended network includes former CEOs, CROs, product leaders, and functional experts who have built and scaled mission‑critical software companies across stages and markets. They support diligence, value creation, and portfolio teams from day one — expanding as each company’s needs evolve.
