Andy Lopata's Networking Tips

Labelled ‘Mr Network’ by The Sun, Andy Lopata was recently called “one of Europe’s leading business networking strategists” by Mike Southon in the Financial Times. The co-author of two books on networking, Andy is a featured columnist the US magazine ‘The National Networker’ and also has a regular column in Business Matters magazine in the UK as well as being quoted in national press, including The Sunday Times and The Guardian.

For eight years, Andy was Managing Director of UK network Business Referral Exchange. Andy has since worked with companies from one-man bands to organisations such as NatWest Bank, Merrill Lynch, Retail Trust, Currencies Direct and O2 to help them realise the full potential from their networking. He is also a former vice-president of the Professional Speakers Association.

Andy has been involved with ISES since mid 2008 and is our official business networking strategist. In this role, Andy has spoken at and compered a range of ISES events and works with the Management Team to help us provide the best networking opportunities possible to our members.

Away from ISES, Andy works with companies to help them develop a focused networking strategy which translates into more quality referrals and business.  He does this through courses and workshops as well as one-2-one coaching both face to face and on line as well as speaking at events and seminars.
