About Andrea
I'm a serial Fortune 500 executive who’s successfully navigated organizations of all sizes and types. In addition to accelerating my own career for the past 20+ years, I've led global teams of up to 1000 and guided countless others toward their own raises and promotions. I know that every organization has a unique code to be unlocked and I'm ready to help you figure out what YOU need to do to forge a fulfilling path forward.
Why do I coach?
Having successfully built my own career across organizations of all types, I decided to apply the pattern recognition and tactical knowledge I've developed to guide others to achieve whatever they want in their own careers. I want to push and support you in ways that on-the-job managers and even mentors rarely do and make sure you have the actionable and influential toolkit to succeed.

Never again be told you're too young, not smart enough, or not likable enough to reach the C-Suite. Want proven methods for navigating your organization to climb the "corporate ladder" faster and smarter, gaining raises and promotions, and building relationships and influence along the way? 💡 🌟 FACT 1: No matter who you are, where you started, or what roadblocks you currently face, you CAN change or accelerate your career trajectory and fulfill your ambitions in any organization. 🔒 FACT 2: Doing so requires unlocking the unique code inherent to every organization's policies, politics, and people, and often demands we think radically differently about how we manage ourselves and lead others (up, down, and laterally). 🔑 FACT 3: Many people are good at their jobs. But most people don't get raises and promotions all the way up to senior executive levels because they lack experience determining how to navigate complex organizations and the pace of change that exists today. Can you imagine baking a cake for the first time without a recipe? I'm a serial Fortune 500 executive who’s succeeded in organizations of all sizes and types. In addition to accelerating my own career for the past 20+ years, I've led global teams of up to 1000 and guided countless others toward their own raises and promotions. Now I can do it for you, too!
