About Andi Summers

I’m a build-it-from-the-ground-up (or wherever we find ourselves!) kind of gal who can’t help but roll up her own sleeves as a player-coach. I’m not the leader who sustains the status quo, but the one who pushes the boundaries of what we think is possible. HR has been the name of my game for 14+ years, and I have a real passion for my craft. These have been years of progressive experience leading teams and complex initiatives across the (fin)tech, healthcare, and nonprofit industries globally (in partnership with colleagues in India, Australia, EMEA, Mexico, New Zealand, Chile, Brazil, Africa, the Philippines, and Canada).I am:* An executive leader with strong ties to people deep within a company. This is where I get my organizational instincts and my energy.* Committed to co-creating and contributing to diverse, inclusive, equitable cultures that enable performance.* A strong communicator, facilitator, and project manager. What can I say? You can take the girl out of consulting but can’t take the consultant out of the girl.* Completely invested in the people I lead and those I lead beside. Supporting others’ growth & success matters greatly to me.Outside of my full-time work, I teach for UCSD and coach leaders in a variety of industries spanning nonprofit to crypto. This work fills my cup!My core values:Heart | Grit | Choice | Wholeness | Service
