Andy Teach

Andy Teach is a thirty-year corporate veteran. However, Andy was an unlikely corporate soldier when he first graduated from college. At that time, he delayed joining the corporate world when he and a friend embarked on a three-week, 1300-mile journey from New Jersey to Florida by bicycle. After that, Andy decided that "in order to beat the establishment, you first must become a part of it."

After working for two advertising agencies in New York City, Andy moved to Los Angeles, California where he joined a major television and motion picture studio. He started at the bottom, earned six promotions, and was most recently Vice-President, Network & Cable Research.

Andy is the author of a career advice book entitled "From Graduation To Corporation: The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder One Rung at a Time." The book has received critical acclaim from media and business professionals, college students, and book reviewers.

Corporate Presentations: Andy has managed and observed all types of employees. He draws upon his experiences as a former entertainment executive who rose up the corporate ladder to help employees and managers be the best that they can be. Andy's presentations are informational, educational, and motivational and are designed to produce both short-term and long-term results.
