Andrew Lingley

Head of Growth & Marketing Operations

Andrew Lingley brings practitioner-level expertise at the intersection of governance, operational resilience, and organisational execution. At Drova, Andrew focuses on how strategy, risk intent, and regulatory expectations translate into day-to-day operating reality. His work centres on identifying where accountability, ownership, and systems break down, and helping organisations build structured and disciplined approaches that enable them to operate resiliently and responsibly, particularly under board and regulatory scrutiny. Andrew’s perspective is shaped by direct engagement with executive teams and regulators on real-world governance and resilience expectations. He previously served as Deputy Chair of the Association of Professional Compliance Consultants (APCC) Operational Resilience Working Group, where regulators joined practitioner forums to listen to industry research, operational insights, and implementation challenges relating to FCA and PRA and Bank of England operational resilience requirements. Alongside his executive role, Andrew has held multiple non-executive and board positions in the not-for-profit sector. In these roles, he has contributed to risk assessments, risk appetite statements, regulatory and ACNC compliance, operating and strategic planning, and board mergers, as well as grant and fundraising governance. This experience provides him with first-hand insight into how governance decisions must move beyond policy and into consistent execution. Andrew also spearheads Drova’s industry outlook work across operational resilience, NDIS, and financial services, working closely with Drova’s leadership and content teams. These reports are grounded in practitioner evidence and cross-sector pattern recognition, helping boards and executives move beyond compliance and embed resilience and sustainability into how their organisations actually operate. His insights are grounded in evidence and operational outcomes, not theory, and have been informed by listening to regulators, executives, and risk leaders in live forums. Andrew is a Certified GRC Professional (OCEG), a Member of the Corporate Governance Institute, and holds a Master’s in Leadership, Administration and Governance.
