Andrew Gross
Investor
Andrew is the SVP of Sales and U.S. General Manager at Xyte.io, the venture‑backed SaaS platform that enables the world’s top device makers, re-sellers, and users deliver on true “single‑pane‑of‑glass” IoT management. When Andrew joined in 2022 as the founding U.S. hire, Xyte.io was a great idea with zero revenue. Since then he's scaled the commercial org from $0 to multimillion‑dollar ARR, built a qualified pipeline in the tens of millions, and led an industry shift toward recurring Hardware‑as‑a‑Service revenue for AV/IT OEMs... momentum that helped Xyte secure $40M+ from Intel Capital, Samsung Next, BlackRock, and S‑Capital.
Earlier in his career, Andrew spent a decade at Crestron Electronics, ultimately becoming Vice President of Enterprise Sales. He launched the global UC&C team (i.e., Microsoft Teams and Zoom Room practice), grew it from 3 to 40 people, and drove 30× revenue in just two years for this private, multibillion‑dollar AV manufacturer.
Andrew is a Penn State Nuclear Engineering grad and an active angel investor; backing disruptive early‑stage SaaS, AI, and wellness startups with both capital and hands‑on revenue‑building guidance.
Outside of work you’ll find him racing ultra-marathons in the Catskills, playing beach volleyball in NYC, or traveling the world with his wife and daughter.
