Andy Varns
Director of Operations
Andy had been part of the Chimp Management team since July 2016 and has worked across a variety of roles. He is currently Director of Operations across all companies within the Mindfield Health organisation (Chimp Management, Mindfield UK and Mindfield Media) whilst also working closely as an assistant to Professor Peters.
Andy’s main roles will be to oversee all aspects of Mindfield Health, as well as managing anything directly related to Professor Peters such as book publishing, media and speaking commitments, individual 1:1 clients – or anything else that comes up!
Originally from Sheffield, Andy has studied and worked in the USA from 2004 to 2016. Post-graduation Andy prospered in roles as a football coach at different academic institutions in Colorado, Florida and most recently at The University of Oklahoma. A wide skill set was required in these roles as well as a flexible approach to an ever-changing environment. Andy’s main responsibilities were scholarship negotiations, recruitment, video analysis and editing, event planning, coaching and management of athletes.
Away from Chimp Management Andy enjoys spending most of his time with his wife and 3 young children – as well as supporting the ever frustrating Sheffield Wednesday!
