Finard Properties brought in Emblem Strategic to facilitate an offsite workshop and help us navigate a number of sensitive conversations. We needed to talk openly about how our real estate development company could continue to evolve as a responsible corporate citizen. Andy was skillful and emotionally invested in connecting the dots between our culture – our people – and our evolving goals. His ability to function as a blend of corporate coach, diversity advisor, and political strategist continues to make him a valuable part of the Finard Properties family.

Todd Finard - CEO, Finard Properties

Andy does a great job taking the time to understand our business. He also does a good job of holding us accountable and helping us achieve our objectives. He is laser-focused on helping to execute a plan that results in both tactical and strategic wins.

Jake Grossman - President, The Grossman Companies

Andy gets the intangible stuff where the big picture objective intersects with the nuanced interpersonal elements. The messaging pieces, Andy does easily and very well. The interpersonal pieces, the strategic relationships & framing with key personalities, he is exceptional at.I would recommend him to any business that sees their community presence & profile as essential to their business success.

Dave McLaughlin - General Manager, Atlantic Territory WeWork

Andy is never formulaic. He listens deeply with genuine investment in understanding and builds from that starting point. Andy gets diversity and inclusion beyond checking the box and knows personally the power of genuine engagement and collaboration. I have been consistently energized by my experiences and time with Andy.
