About Andrea Hoffman
I am the founder/CEO of Culture Shift Labs, Culture Shifting Weekends, co-author of Black is the New Green and the NAACP nominated book $50 BILLION Dollar Boss (Palgrave Macmillan). My specialty is growth and innovation through diversity and inclusion.
I've provided leadership-minded clients with progressive strategy and implementation services for 30+ years. I'm a B2B strategist that operates from a business and corporate development lens. I've also launched several groundbreaking projects in my career. My work includes uniting businesses with Black influencers, accomplished tech innovators, investors and inventors (SME’s) to solve problems, generate opportunities, drive value and increase impact.
I'm called a "CEO's secret weapon” because I enable them to leapfrog over the competition. I'm hired to develop road maps that identify overlooked business opportunities, assess scenarios where M&A of minority owned firms or inventors inventions are being considered, increase diversity on boards, in venture capital and more.
Known for engineering competitive advantage strategies, clients rely on me to re-imagine existing business models and programs accused of being dysfunctional. In 2000, I developed a gap analysis process to identify and activate opportunities for domestic and global growth.
I encourage you to read my report on Diversity & Innovation found on my company website.
A proud moment in my career was consulting the defense team of a prominent NYC law firm helping them win a landmark diversity case.
I serve on the board of Singularity University, Sphinx Org., am a Founding Partner of SphinxCon as well as a Senior Fellow of Social Innovation at Babson College.
