Small Business Pedigree

Business Executive & Advisor

Operations & Technology Consultant

Andrea grew up the daughter of small business owners in Michigan. With her parents’ home interiors store established in 1980, she learned a small business work ethic and whatever-it-takes attitude early on. Andrea understands the challenges and grit it takes to run a successful business and that a focus on serving clients with quality and humility comes first.

As a successful technology executive in northern Virginia, Andrea built upon this foundation by adding the ability to identify and solve business challenges of complexity and scale. With over 22 years of experience, Andrea has served as a technical solutions architect, operations director, and chief information officer within the government contracting industry. She is also a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), helping business owners create and execute a plan to transition ownership of their business.

Andrea holds a B.S in Computer Technology and an A.S in Organizational Leadership from Purdue University, both with distinction. She also holds an MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business where she was a Batten Technology Scholar. This combination of small business hustle, corporate experience, and educational foundation are what makes KeyBright shine.
