Andrew Berry was named the Browns Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager on Jan. 28, 2020. Berry re-joined the Browns staff after serving as Vice President of Player Personnel from 2016-18.

During his five seasons as Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager, Berry has helped build rosters that have accounted for two 11- win seasons and two playoff appearances.

On March 9, 2025, the Browns agreed to a four-year contract extension with perennial All-Pro DE Myles Garrett. He is the only player in NFL history to record at least 14 sacks in four consecutive seasons (2021- 24). Garrett led the NFL with 22 tackles-for-loss and finished second in the league with 14 sacks in 2024.

In 2024, Berry spearheaded a trade for WR Jerry Jeudy, who went on to set the Browns single season reception record with 90. While totaling 1,229 receiving yards on the season, Jeudy recorded 235 at Denver on Dec. 2, which was the second-highest output by an NFL player in 2024 and the fourthhighest total by a Brown in a game. Jeudy was named to his first career Pro Bowl. In addition, G Joel Bitonio was named to his seventh career Pro Bowl, Garrett to his sixth and CB Denzel Ward to his fourth.

In total, the Browns have had nine players account for 23 Pro Bowl selections since 2020, the most by the team over a five-year stretch since 1986-90 (23). In 2023 alone, the Browns had seven players selected to the Pro Bowl, the club's most since sending eight in 1988. Berry has been instrumental in retaining and acquiring top talent, signing all nine of those Pro Bowlers (Bitonio, RB Nick Chubb, WR Amari Cooper, Garrett, Jeudy, TE David Njoku, LB Jeremiah OwusuKoramoah, G Wyatt Teller and Ward) to contract extensions.

In his first season at the helm, Berry shaped a roster that helped the team to their first playoff appearance since 2002 and first playoff victory in 26 years. Berry used an aggressive approach to improve the roster during his first offseason, including inking Garrett to a five-year contract extension and signing unrestricted free agent RT Jack Conklin. Both Garrett and Conklin went on to earn first-team All-Pro honors in 2020, while Bitonio and Teller were each second team selections.

During the 2021 season, Browns inked Bitonio and Teller to contract extensions. Bitonio, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and five-time All-Pro honoree, and Teller, a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro honoree, were both signed through the 2025 season. During the 2021 NFL Draft, the Browns selected CB Greg Newsome and Owusu-Koramoah with their first two picks. Both players were named to the PFWA's 2021 NFL All-Rookie team.

Berry helped re-shape the Browns offense with two trades during the 2022 offseason. The team acquired five-time Pro Bowler Cooper and three-time Pro Bowl QB Deshaun Watson. The team also signed three-time Pro Bowler Ward and one-time Pro Bowler Njoku to contract extensions prior to the 2022 season.

Despite the club being ravaged by injuries in 2023, including season-ending injuries to Chubb, Conklin and Watson, the team was able to win 11 regular season games. The Browns became the seventh team in the Super Bowl era (1966) to earn at least one win with four different starting quarterbacks in the same season. Watson finished the season 5-1 as a starter and QB Joe Flacco went 4-1 as a starter. Flacco, who was first signed to the Browns roster on Dec. 2, was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Defensively, Berry assembled a roster that went on to lead the NFL in several categories including total defense (270.2 yards per game), passing defense (164.7 yards per game), third down percentage (67- of-230 for 29.1 percent) and first downs allowed (253). The team's 270.2 net yards allowed per game were the fewest allowed in the NFL since the 2014 Seahawks (267.1) and the fewest allowed by a Browns team since 1957. The Browns also set a franchise record for sacks in a season with 48.

In his first stint with the Browns, Berry first worked under Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown followed by General Manager John Dorsey. He helped lead all talent evaluation efforts for the club, including college prospects and NFL free agents. He also helped in overseeing the club's scouting department and worked closely with other high-ranking members of the front office.

During Berry's first three drafts with the Browns, the team selected at least one future Pro Bowler every year: LB Joe Schobert (fourth round, 2016), Garrett (first round, 2017), Njoku (first round, 2017), QB Baker Mayfield (first round, 2018), Ward (first round, 2018) and Chubb (second round, 2018).

In between his stints with the Browns, Berry served as the Vice President of Football Operations with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019. In his one draft with the Eagles, Philadelphia used a second-round pick on RB Miles Sanders, who went on to lead all NFL rookies in scrimmage yards with 1,327, set an Eagles rookie rushing record with 818 yards and later made the Pro Bowl.

Berry also spent seven seasons (2009-15) in the Indianapolis Colts front office, including his final four as pro scouting coordinator. He started with the Colts in 2009 as a scouting assistant and was promoted to pro scout in 2011 before being elevated to pro scouting coordinator in 2012. During his time in Indianapolis, the Colts won four AFC South titles, made five postseason appearances and advanced to Super Bowl XLIV. From 2009-15, Indianapolis won 67 games, the sixth-most in the NFL during that span.

In the Colts' front office, Berry managed the free agency process, scouted upcoming opponents and evaluated NFL players and players from other professional leagues. He also assisted with college scouting, preparation for the NFL draft and participated in contract negotiations during free agency.

Berry graduated cum laude from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in computer science in four years. While at Harvard, he was a four-year starter as a cornerback and was a three-time All-Ivy League team selection and an All-America honoree. He totaled 125 career tackles and five interceptions playing for the Crimson.

Berry was one of five finalists for the John Wooden Citizenship Cup, which is awarded to the nation's highest-achieving student-athlete who best displays character, teamwork and citizenship. He was a finalist for the Draddy Trophy as the national scholar-athlete of the year and was named the 2009 Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Director Association Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

In June 2020, Berry sparked the #BeTheSolution campaign to emphasize education and encourage others to implement action for ending social and racial injustice practices. Berry created the challenge internally with an email to the Browns organization and donated $8,460 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund for efforts after at least 50 employees completed one of the following in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and many more who tragically lost their lives: 1. Spend at least 8 minutes and 46 seconds (in honor of Floyd) on one of a number of educational or dialogue items provided in the email and submit a short written or video reflection on what they learned or will do moving forward. 2. Sign up for any social activism initiative. 3. Donate anything to a social activism cause. The Haslam family pledged to match every dollar raised and contributed to the organizations of employees' choice to a social justice nonprofit. The Browns staff raised more than $185,000 in a two-week span for 14 different charities. Berry later invited fans, players and members of the media to join in the fight to #BeTheSolution.

In 2022, the Browns received the inaugural John B. Wooten Award by the Fritz Pollard Alliance. The award honors NFL teams that embody workplace diversity, equity and inclusion across the hierarchy. The Browns have filled their business and football operations departments with multiple fellowships and minority hires that have helped the organization grow. Among the several diverse hires Berry has made was Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who served as Vice President of Football Operations from 2020-21, until he was hired as the General Manager for the Minnesota Vikings in 2022. The Browns also hired Catherine Hickman as Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Football Operations, the highest-ranking female football executive in the NFL.

Berry and his wife Brittan have two boys, Zion and Kairo and a girl, Eden Ruth.
