Andrew Cameron is a hospitality systems integrator working across commercial strategy, operations, procurement, sustainability, food systems and technology.
His career has progressed through multiple levels of the industry, from frontline operations and product development to regional procurement, global sustainability transformation and executive advisory. This breadth allows him to understand not only what an organisation intends to change, but how that change will affect its teams, suppliers, guests, commercial model and operating environment.
At Accor, Andrew established regional procurement capability in Southeast Asia before moving into global category leadership and sustainability implementation. His work connected sourcing, supplier engagement, food and beverage, operating equipment, circularity and enterprise-wide transition programmes.
Before Accor, Andrew developed operating experience across recognised Australian and Singapore hospitality businesses, including Group Beverage Director responsibility at Burnt Ends. These roles built practical understanding of product, service, team adoption, supply networks and guest experience, capabilities that continue to inform his advisory work today.
He founded Enzyme Consulting to integrate these previously separate disciplines. Today, he works with hospitality organisations, developers and destination stakeholders to translate complexity, connect decision-makers and embed change across the full operating system.
What this experience means today
Breadth matters only when it improves the decisions being made now. Andrew's experience across operations, procurement and sustainability allows Enzyme to work across organisational boundaries that conventional advisory models often treat separately.
Commercial translation
Connects sustainability and systems decisions with asset performance, procurement value, guest experience and organisational priorities.
Supply-network perspective
Works across buyers, suppliers, technology providers, operators and destination stakeholders rather than viewing procurement as a transactional function.
Implementation leadership
Bridges strategy and adoption by working inside organisations, aligning decision-makers and helping teams carry change into practice.
