About Andrea Poling

Over the course of my career, I have leveraged my background in design to solve complex business problems in B2B and B2C environments across multiple industries. While I am not the typical product of an MBA program, I have discovered my capabilities often round out the collective skills of my teammates. I attribute my ability to put objectives and people ahead of ego due to countless critiques of my work by art school professors and peers. As a people leader, I am known for my empathetic ear and accessible, charismatic style. I have been a top contributor in all of my roles and built a reputation for delivering customer-focused strategies with clear roadmaps.
