Sheh brings over 20 years of experience driving technology strategies, leading large-scale organizations, and building globally scalable platforms. Sheh joins FanDuel Group most recently from Compass, a real estate technology brokerage firm that is building what a press release calls “the first modern enterprise real estate end-to-end platform for agents and their clients.” At Compass, Sheh was responsible for a global engineering organization of over 500 engineers covering all data, search, AI/ML, video, digital ads, marketing tech, payments, and externalization efforts.
Before joining Compass, Andrew served as CTO of Remine; Global Innovation Tech and Product Director at CEB; Technical Lead at Palantir Technologies; and Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. He received a Bachelor of Science and Master’s Degree in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

“There is no faster growing and more competitive space in tech than mobile gaming,” Sheh said. “It is a sector that requires the most innovative solutions to differentiate FanDuel from the competition and I am excited to build FanDuel into the leading gaming platform in the world.”
