Andres Focil was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and moved to the US with his family when he was 15 so his brother could get proper medical care after being diagnosed with chronic asthma and an autoimmune disease.

He began working for a company called Ascenta which was acquired by Facebook in 2014. He began WMT Digital in 2012 while consulting for Ascenta.[1] His first major client was the University of Miami which hired him to help improve their search engine rankings. His success for University of Miami led to WMT Digital acquiring many new clients including the entire SEC Conference, LaLiga, SnapDragon Stadium and USA Basketball.[2][3]
In 2017 he became a partner in AthleticDirectorU, an editorial website devoted to helping college athletics administrators achieve success in their programs. In 2021, he co-founded both the college athletic employment site College Sports Connect and retail engagement platform, Stakeholder Labs.[4][5]
