Gary AndrewsFounder of Skylake · Strategy & Behavior
How Skylake can help

Build the skills and habits that help people work better together.

Turn direction into decisions, and decisions into changes that stick.

Think clearly, lead with confidence, and work through difficult dynamics.

Bring fresh thinking, energy, and direction to the conversations that matter.
I redesign the behavioral layer of organizations.
I love what I do: help clients maneuver the line where strategy meets behavior. A hard thing to do, tackling behavioral and leadership challenges. This is where Skylake provides a key service.
I partner with people and organizations at all levels, based in the Netherlands yet I work globally often.
People who work with me say I am refreshingly creative, quick to understand the issue, proactive, reliable, collaborative, and not afraid to ask ambitious or difficult questions.
Curious to discuss how we could work together?

The Why
I dedicate my work to improving how people lead and work together, because changing what happens within organizations can change the world around them for the better.
“Sky” is what you want to achieve. “Lake” is what happens beneath the surface: your behaviors, patterns, and unknowns. Skylake helps connect the two.
What I bring to every assignment
Exposure
New experiences reveal patterns and open up new possibilities.
Effort
Action creates motivation. Not the other way around.
Goodness
Actively helping each other grow, improve, and do great work.
Higher standards
Not settling for “good enough”. Finding what could work better.
Skylake doesn’t just imagine a better world. We work towards it by helping people lead better, work better together, and turn good intentions into action.

Strategy. Change. Behavior.
Clear direction is only the beginning. I help leaders turn it into decisions, conversations, and ways of working that make a difference.

Direction you can work with.
Confidence. Without the ego.
Honest. Human. Useful.
From intention to everyday.
How Skylake can help
Lead with clarity. Bring people with you.
Develop the confidence, awareness, and habits to lead through difficult dynamics.
A fresh perspective. A sharper next move.
Make sense of complexity, test your thinking, and turn strategic ambition into practical decisions.
Less theory on a slide. More change in the room.
Build communication skills, strengthen team dynamics, and practice what working better actually looks like.
Room to think. Courage to act.
Work through the questions you cannot always take to your team. Personal, direct, and grounded in your reality.

Your sparring partner
A difficult conversation. A team that is stuck. A strategy that makes sense on paper but struggles in practice. That is where I get interested.
I bring creative thinking, direct observations, and genuine care to help people see what is happening and find a better way forward.
Based in the Netherlands. Working with leaders and organizations internationally.

The Why
I dedicate my work to improving how people lead and work together, because changing what happens within leaders and employees can change the world around us for the better.
“Sky” is what you want to achieve. “Lake” is what happens beneath the surface: your behaviors, patterns, and unknowns. Skylake helps connect the two.
What I bring to every assignment
Exposure to challenging environments creates unknowns, which creates learning and new possibilities.
Action creates motivation. Not the other way around.
Let's get to work.
Actively helping each other grow, improve, and do great work.
Example: what if silos actually helped each other, and reporting lines did not stand in the way of genuine assitence?
I don't settle for medium effectiveness, and I dislike 'good enough'.
I will hold you to that same standard when we work together.
Skylake doesn’t just imagine a better world. We work towards it by helping people lead better, work better together, and turn intentions into progress.
