25+ years bridging technology, operations, and business strategy. Based in Seattle. Trusted by leaders across services, higher ed, healthcare, retail, and more — locally and globally.
I didn’t start my career planning to become a consultant. I started it trying to fix things, like broken processes, misaligned technology, and teams that knew more than their systems allowed them to do. What I discovered is that most organizations don’t have a strategy problem. They have an execution gap.
Over 25 years across technology, service-based businesses, higher ed, healthcare, and retail, I’ve sat in enough boardrooms and war rooms to know the pattern: smart leaders, clear ambition, and a stack of tools and teams that don’t quite connect. That’s where I work.
My background spans enterprise technology strategy, operational design, and organizational change leadership. This means I can hold the full picture: where you want to go, what’s standing in the way, and how to build the bridge between them.
I founded my Seattle-based consultancy because I believed there was a better model. A molder where senior-level expertise wasn’t locked inside a large agency billing structure, and where the same person crafting the strategy was in the room when things got hard. Where outcomes, not outputs, defined success.
That belief drives every engagement I take on today, whether it’s a technology strategy project with a Pacific Northwest company, a digital transformation program for a national healthcare system, or fractional leadership for a global organization that needs senior operational capacity without a full-time hire.
Most organizations aren't held back by a lack of ambition — they're held back by a lack of shared clarity. My first job in any engagement is to make the complex legible: what's actually happening, what actually matters, and what the right next move is. No jargon, no hedging.
Strategy without implementation is a conversation. I've built my practice around closing the distance between vision and reality — working directly alongside teams to move plans from whiteboards to workflows, and from workflows to measurable business results.
I don't build dependency. Every engagement is structured so your team walks away with greater capability, clearer systems, and full ownership of the results. The measure of a successful engagement isn't whether you keep hiring me — it's whether you no longer need to.
My mission is to help organizations close the distance between where they are and where they're capable of being,by bringing together the strategic clarity, operational discipline, and human intelligence that great transformations require. Not as an outside voice, but as a trusted partner in the work itself.
Deliverables are a means, not an end. Every engagement is anchored to specific business results — and we measure against them honestly, adjusting when needed.
Moving fast in the wrong direction costs more than moving slowly in the right one. I invest in understanding the full picture before recommending action.
I'll tell you what you need to hear — including if I'm not the right fit. Honest counsel is more valuable than comfortable advice, and I've built my practice on that principle.
A plan nobody uses is just a document. I design for adoption — building capability in your team, not dependency on me.
I speak technology with your engineers, operations with your COO, and strategy with your board. That translation layer is where most consultants miss the mark.
I take on a small number of engagements at a time so each client gets full attention. When I'm in, I'm fully in.
Most organizations I work with have invested heavily in technology. They have the tools. What they lack is coherence, a clear line connecting their technology choices to their business strategy, their operational design, and the people executing it all day to day.
My job is to build that line. Not just to recommend what it should look like on paper, but to work through the organizational, technical, and human complexity it takes to make it real.
I believe the best consulting relationships feel like a trusted internal partner, someone who’s honest when things aren’t working, creative when the path isn’t obvious, and disciplined enough to see the work through to measurable results.
That’s what I bring, whether I’m working with a fast-growing Seattle startup, a national enterprise, or a global organization navigating its next stage of digital transformation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Working With Andrea
Andrea works with growth-stage companies and established organizations across technology, healthcare, financial services, and retail. Her clients are typically leaders — founders, CEOs, COOs, and CTOs — who know their organization has more potential than their current systems allow. They're ready to invest in real change, not just advice.
Andrea is based in Seattle, Washington, and serves clients locally across the Pacific Northwest, nationally throughout the United States, and globally. Most engagements are structured to accommodate remote-first collaboration, with on-site availability for clients who benefit from in-person work — particularly during high-stakes phases like discovery, leadership alignment sessions, or implementation launches.
Fractional leadership means embedded senior-level expertise — such as a fractional CTO or fractional COO — without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive hire. It's ideal for organizations that need strategic capacity at the leadership level but aren't ready for or don't require a permanent role. Fractional technology and operations leadership is one of Andrea's four core service offerings, and one of her most in-demand.
Every engagement starts with a free strategy call — no pitch deck, no hard sell. It's an honest conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and whether Andrea is the right fit to help bridge that distance. From there, she'll propose a tailored engagement structure scoped to your specific goals, timeline, and budget.
Engagement length varies by scope and service type. Project-based engagements — such as technology strategy assessments, digital transformation roadmaps, or operations audits — typically run 6 to 16 weeks. Fractional leadership retainers are structured as 6-month commitments, renewable as needs evolve. Andrea works with a limited number of clients at any given time to ensure every engagement receives full attention.
With a large firm, you often pitch to a senior partner and get delivered by a junior team. With Andrea, the person you meet is the person doing the work. There's no overhead, no account management layer, and no diluted delivery. You get senior-level thinking and hands-on execution from a single trusted advisor who is accountable to your outcomes from day one.
Yes. Andrea has worked with mission-driven and public-facing organizations, bringing the same strategic rigor to nonprofits, healthcare systems, and community organizations. She understands the unique constraints of these environments — including stakeholder complexity, budget sensitivity, and the importance of community trust — and adapts her approach accordingly.
