Andy Pool – My Story
Andy brings a creative, innovative approach to developing communications that inform and engage employees and key constituents, especially during times of significant change, such as M&A activities, leadership transitions, or periods of major growth or contraction. Her 25+ years of experience driving employee communications and engagement, change management communications, executive communications, and thought leadership programs at global, ever-changing organizations gives her the expertise to develop communications that help drive evolving organizational priorities.
Andy partners with C-level executives, company leaders, and managers to ensure they are articulating the right messages, at the right time, to the right audiences, delivered in the most effective way—blogs, emails, town hall and all-hands meetings, leadership offsites, Slack/instant messaging, informal gatherings or fireside chats, videos, social media, speeches, and more. She brings value to an organization by helping them use communications more effectively and strategically, improving employee engagement and retention, defining and reinforcing culture, and achieving better organizational outcomes.
