Andy Burnett
Governance Trustee and Chairman of Trustees.
Andy first became involved with ONERio partner organisation, UmRio, in 2017, having heard about it through fellow ONERio trustee, Will Wilson. He subsequently headed out to Morro do Castro with the first group of Cambridge University rugby players in June that year and has returned twice since.
One of Andy’s fondest memories in Morro do Castro is being involved in the record breaking 30 hour non-stop touch rugby match, where his Light Blue team were edged by fewer than 100 tries. Notably, this is his only Varsity Match defeat against fellow ONERio trustee, Ed Hart.
Andy is a law graduate and current trainee solicitor at an American international law firm. Andy uses his legal and governance experience to act as ONERio’s trustee chairman and primarily advises on the organisation’s governance issues.
