About
TJ Andre
I build organizational value by helping businesses conceptualize, develop and implement high visibility, high impact initiatives. Over the course of 25 years I've leveraged my ambidextrous leadership expertise - both market facing and operational - to help organizations grow revenues, improve profitability and successfully adapt in fast changing business environments.
TJ's work has ranged from corporate strategy development and execution to product, program, business line and partnership development, to conceptualizing, architecting and operationalizing capabilities, processes, tools and platforms that:
- Align customer experience with the brand's promises
- Improve efficiency without compromising effectiveness
- Retain and systematically promulgate the corporate culture
- Identify and capture new market space

A colleague who worked closely with him over the past five years explains, "T.J. is a strategic thinker, passionate and persuasive influencer, innovative problem solver and driving force for what is next for the business. One of T.J.'s gifts is tremendous situational awareness, with the ability to read market trends and people extremely well. This enables him to work with others to quickly diagnose issues that need to be addressed and identify business opportunities to pursue."
That situational awareness has been a common thread and source of value creation throughout T.J.'s 25 years across multiple industry sectors including: Retail, Technology, Professional Services, Travel and Hospitality, Insurance, Publishing, Financial Services, and Transportation.
From figuring out how to ignite interest and participation when launching a youth program while playing professional baseball in Italy; to identifying and capturing emerging market opportunities, creating new market space and getting legislation passed over entrenched opposition while at AAA; to leading a growing professional services business through several "life-stage" transitions, including conceptualizing, developing and implementing initiatives to transform an at-risk business model, the ability to see quickly and accurately what is happening, why it's happening and anticipate what's coming next has been key to his ability to increase organizational value.
T.J. is an adjunct professor at Boston University's Graduate School of Communications and has lectured at Babson's Graduate School of Business and Bentley College.
T.J. received a BA with honors from Harvard College.
