Biography

As a senior director in the Verisign Corporate Strategy and Analytics organization, Andy Simpson is responsible for studying end-user demand for domain names with a focus on the impact of emerging global markets and how registrants utilize their registered domain names. Andy also supports Verisign’s efforts to evaluate security and stability threats to the Domain Name System (DNS) root zone.

Since joining Verisign in 2005, and before moving into broad scale domain name usage analysis, Andy contributed to multiple external-facing platforms that Verisign maintained before transitioning to and helping Verisign develop a Big Data technology stack, which is now the primary architecture for his domain name research efforts.

Andy earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University.
