I had the pleasure of working alongside Andrea during her time as VP of Partner Marketing at isolved. She is the kind of person every organization hopes to have, someone who takes true ownership, follows through on commitments and leads with integrity. Andrea is a natural collaborator and consistently made decisions and built strategies bringing people together. She creates space for every voice and finds solutions that work for everyone. What stands out most is her customer-first mentality; every decision she made, every strategy she built, kept our partners' needs at the forefront. She not only delivered great results but also made the journey to get there enjoyable and inspiring.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Andrea during a pivotal period at Enboarder, where she served as our Chief Marketing Officer while I led Global Sales. As we navigated a significant product transition from traditional onboarding software to our “everboarding” and Human Connection platform, Andrea was instrumental in helping redefine our entire go-to-market approach.
Andrea's analytical rigor stood out immediately. Rather than relying on assumptions, she dove deep into reverse funnel analytics and data-driven budget allocation to completely rebuild our buyer personas, develop comprehensive battle cards, and quantify our product's true impact. This methodical approach to understanding where to invest marketing dollars translated directly to results - we saw substantial increases in our average selling price and meaningful reductions in sales cycle length during our collaboration.
What made working with Andrea exceptional was her collaborative leadership style. She welcomed debate and feedback, rarely taking disagreement personally, while being confident enough to push back with solid logic when she felt strongly about a direction. This created an environment where our best ideas emerged through constructive challenge. What started as a strong professional partnership naturally evolved into a valued friendship that continues today.
For any organization looking for a marketing leader who combines analytical precision with strong collaborative instincts, Andrea delivers. She has the rare ability to drive data-driven strategy while building the cross-functional relationships essential for execution.

What sets Andrea apart is not just her impressive professional acumen, but her extraordinary qualities as a leader and mentor. In the hyper-growth environment we worked in, she was a consistent source of guidance, encouragement, and genuine support. Her ability to inspire and motivate her team while fostering an inclusive and collaborative global culture is rare, and it's a testament to her character and leadership style.
Andrea has an innate talent for bringing out the best in people and always ensured that we felt valued and empowered to contribute meaningfully to the company's success. Beyond her professional expertise, she is a wonderful human being—kind, empathetic, and deeply committed to helping others grow.
I cannot recommend her highly enough as both an outstanding professional and an exceptional leader.

Working with Andrea is an absolute privilege. As a CMO Andrea is incredibly busy and has a million things stacked on her plate, yet she always has time to mentor, guide and develop me as her direct report.
Her expertise not only in marketing but in inside sales (and really the entirety of a GTM org) is unrivalled and anyone would be lucky to learn from her.
Reporting to Andrea has grown me not only in my capacity in inside sales, but as a leader too.

Working with Andrea is such a privilege. She inhabits rarified air, where care and consideration for her team is a consistent priority which is all the more exceptional, given her role as CMO and the never-ending race of demands and expectations from across the business hitting her desk.
Having worked with Andrea I believe has made me a better human and employee - she has taken the time to mentor me - with the only benefit being my success.
I cannot recommend Andrea enough to any organisation that is looking to hire an exceptional marketer & CMO, but also a wonderful people leader that can invigorate or grow your team aligned to the future of work.

When Andrea took up the role of CMO at Pareto Health, our first conversation set the tone for a thoroughly enjoyable and productive relationship as we teamed up on redefining the Pareto brand. Andrea is sharp as a tack and we always felt that we were perceived as a valuable extension of her internal team, not just a “vendor”.

Andrea was the lead executive of our marketing and sales operations function for three years at Globalization Partners, during which time she 3x'd our lead flow and built a team of more than 50 people across 3 continents. Besides running our entire marketing function, she was one of my go-to people for pretty much anything that needs to be done. Andrea is capable of much more than just marketing; she's also capable of running an HR function or being the COO of a small company. Her project management skills are exceptional, and her team would walk over coals for her. Andrea is one of the top executives I've ever worked with.

“Genuine Expert” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Andrea. I had the pleasure of working with Andrea for 1-1/2 years at Globalization Partners. As the founding member of a brand new role at GP, Andrea was my go-to mentor and subject matter expert. I was always in awe of Andrea's ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas - even when not everyone was on the same page. She is gifted at inspiring and leading an amazing team. I am so grateful for all that I have learned from Andrea.

To say that Andrea was a great boss would be an understatement. She is not only an extremely knowledgeable and capable marketer, but also a unique leader who understands how to bring out the best in her employees. In my time reporting to her I felt heard, supported, and free to perform my best work.
During that time, the company was experiencing tremendous growth—both from market demand and internal goals to grow the team and build out the infrastructure to take us to global scale. Together we grew our marketing programs to drive a 164% increase in leads and a 135% increase in sales opportunities—90% of which were sourced through inbound marketing programs.
We were an incredible team and she fully supported me in delivering my best and proudest work to-date in my career. I very much look forward to the opportunity of working with her again in the future.

When I started at Globalization Partners, Andrea ran Marketing all by herself. Within the past 2.5 years, she built out an international, world-class award-winning team of 40+ people to drive lead generation, market penetration, content management and more. Andrea works very closely with the Sales organization to keep us up-to-speed about new initiatives, and to understand in detail what it is that we need most to then adapt Marketing initiatives accordingly. As the SVP Marketing she is very strategic but can adapt whenever needed, and whenever there is a fire drill, Andrea is the first in line to support her team if necessary. Andrea is a true pleasure to work with, and the whole company would not be where we are today without her fantastic work. Thank you so much for all you have done so far, I am excited to see what the next years will bring!

I can't say I've ever worked with someone as genuine, intuitive and capable of building a high-functioning marketing team as Andrea. Not only does she have a way of nurturing her teams and seeking out excellent people, but she perfectly blends deep experience with the most current platforms and best practices. She has orchestrated incredible, results-driven marketing teams from the ground-up and is always looking for ways to improve. I'm convinced there isn't anything she couldn't do, in any industry, for any company. She's a powerful, yet humble leader and has a track record to envy. More than that, she's just a wonderful human being and a huge asset for any company that actually cares about culture and taking care of their people.

Andrea Dumont is exactly the type of person you want to have leading your team when a daunting task is on deck, and there is much to quarterback. Her ability to lead a team through an ever-changing environment while creating, articulating and executing a product vision is uncanny, and it's always – always - done with a smile. She has a fantastic ability to coordinate multiple teams, both internally and externally, to ensure product vision and value are understood clearly. Andrea is one of those intelligent, strong, yet kind people within the organization that is highly respected from the executive level, and all levels, of the organization.
As a remote sales director, Andrea and her team were instrumental to my success, especially during years of product transition. Through her I was always able to stay connected to the corporate office, understand product value, transition and timelines, and set appropriate expectations, contributing much to my success. During one of the most challenging years, I was able to achieve Sales Rep of the Year, and it's not a stretch to attribute much of that accomplishment to her hard work, at a time when resources were light. Her work ethic was never questioned, and her sense of urgency and willingness to go the extra mile for us in a pinch is a demonstration of her commitment to her team, and the company she's invested in. While I didn't report to Andrea, in many respects she has been a great guiding light for me in my career. I've learned a lot about work ethic, ambition and charisma from Andrea, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in years to come.

Her ability to clearly articulate and deliver product strategy made her an invaluable asset in those cases where our team needed to see and believe the vision of where the product was headed so we could therefore bring forward to our prospects. Given the rapid growth of the product while at Virgin as well as the large amount of sales and new prospects this was no small task. It was a pleasure to work with Andrea and I hope to be able to do so again in the future.
