Andrew Porter

Senior Analyst, Linfox Logistics

Melbourne

Andrew is a Senior Analyst in Linfox Logistics Customer Development team, and until recently worked as part of Linfox’s multi-disciplinary Development, Strategy and Innovation business unit, which keeps tabs on customer needs, trends and emerging challenges in the industry, and how best to deal with them, including the implications of autonomous vehicles in logistics. Over the past decade, Andrew’s work has taken him from communications and strategy roles in politics, with Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, Defence Minister Stephen Smith, to now Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, then to the private sector, most recently with Adani. Andrew is a board member of Labor-aligned thinktank, the John Curtin Research Centre, and if he’s being completely honest, is still yet to recover in any meaningful way from the fact that Richmond won the 2017 AFL Grand Final.
