Andy Williamson, SVP Calgary

Andy became a partner of SVP Calgary in 2002 and served on the ’03-’04 Grant Committee, an experience which helped to ignite a passion for the SVP model and the organization. He is an enthusiastic member of the Recruiting Committee and enjoys sharing the SVP story with prospective partners. A strong supporter of the International network, he has attended the Annual Conference every year since joining SVP. Andy has over 20 years experience in the oil and gas industry as a Geophysicist, including international postings in Bogotá, Colombia, Buenos Aires, Argentina and recently in Ecuador. He is currently Geophysical Advisor for a junior oil and gas company based in Calgary. Outside of his work with SVP, Andy is also an active volunteer in several technical societies in the field of geophysics. He received his Bachelor of Science in Engineering Geophysics from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Andy and wife Krystyna (SVP Calgary Board vice-Chair) lead a busy family life with daughters Maryna and Evalina (active philanthropists in their own right) . They are deeply involved in church life and serve as a sponsor couple for marriage preparation for engaged couples. The family shares a passion for the outdoors and the Arts, and enjoy travel, hiking, skiing and music. Andy continues to play drums with a rock band writing and recording new material and playing live shows (mostly for charity, of course).
