INFLUENCE

Feedback & Reviews

Credibility is more than a list of awards on display - it's the consistency of one's professional reputation across teams, organizations, and industries.
Partner With Andrae
“Many things fascinated me about Andrae: first being his eloquence and ability to keep an audience captivated. His delivery was timely, informative, sometimes humorous, yet appropriately serious and frank. He spoke with such genuine sincerity that I had to find out who he was!”

NASA Staff, Published Author

"Andrae is a great partner. He listens to his internal clients and attempts to consider all perspectives when implementing solutions."

Sr. Director, Tech Operations

"Andrae clearly conveys information and ideas with conviction through a variety of media to individuals or groups in a manner that consistently engages."

Sr. Manager, App Development

"Andrae holds people accountable and makes sure that their input is included in ALL situations. He does a great job of working with and getting the best out of other team members. Andrae truly is a positive influence on the projects that he is on and wants to grow and develop people to lift them up."

Director & Product Owner

"Andrae's focus to deliver results with a sense of ownership was on full display throughout my experiences with him. At many points where there was a clear opportunity to go with the status quo or settle for a suboptimal solution, he pushed forward to uncover underlying rationales and find creative solutions. It's an approach that he should continue to bring to the table as it not only delivers results and drives initiatives, but because it brings those around him back to the table and engages them in a way that might not have happened otherwise."

Global Director, Technology

"Andrae invariably appreciates and leverages the capabilities, insights, and ideas of all individuals."

VP of Operational Excellence

"Andrae is really strong in utilizing his process and analytical skills to drive alignment across the company. He is also really good at helping people to feel comfortable and inviting them into the conversation when running a Kaizen event to solve a problem."

Director, Tech Logistics
