About Andrea Jennings

As a national operations director and a national sales and recruitment manager, I have 15+ years of senior level experience in marketing, business development, sales, and recruiting. My specialties include internal and external communications, market research and analysis, planning and forecasting, presentation design and delivery, learning and development, event planning and execution, and management of a wide array of teams, projects, and processes. I am equally comfortable analyzing data in the office and engaging face-to-face and virtually with internal and external stakeholders across all levels of an organization. Most recently, as a member of the senior leadership team, I oversaw the international recruiting department of a multi-site design college – driving and implementing all departmental strategies and operations: forecasting and strategy; hiring, training, and performance management; and budget, process, and vendor oversight. Consultative in nature, this position enabled me to cultivate collaborations with individual campuses and executive leadership to ensure regulatory compliance, brand adherence, and results. While much of my tenure has been in educational sales and marketing, my previous roles have spanned a variety of enterprises, and my skills and knowledge easily transcend any specific industry.Colleagues know me as an innovative thinker who welcomes new ideas and insight, as a coach who thrives on furthering the development of others, as a strategist who values both data and anecdotal evidence, as a pragmatist whose eye is always trained on increased efficiency and streamlining, and as a leader who believes in being the example.
