Andrew Steele is an Olympic athlete turned digital health entrepreneur. Andrew competed in the 400m and 4x400m for Great Britain as a track and field athlete for 15 years, with a bronze medal from the 2008 Beijing Games. As his athletics career came to an end, a lucky meeting with a genetic scientist led Andrew to cofound a health tech startup called DNAfit, which went on to grow to a team of 75 and win multiple awards. DNAfit was then acquired by Prenetics in 2018, a larger health technology company based in Hong Kong and Andrew helped lead Prenetics as Chief Product Officer through to a successfully publishing on the NASDAQ in May 2022.
Andrew is now founder of Stride, a digital health and diagnostics business and a founding partner at Sport First – a venture studio helping athletes and people from the sports ecosystem make the transition into entrepreneurship.
