Bio
Leon Shnayder
I had the honor of serving under Andi while she was SVP/CIO of the Community Preservation Corporation. As SVP/CIO, Andi worked tirelessly to create and implement IT strategies to enable our asset management and loan processing business and modernize a 70-year-old organization. I saw first-hand how Andi's significant experience in IT service management, cloud data and analytics platforms, cybersecurity, and vendor management both improved the organization and yielded significant cost savings. Aside from being a brilliant strategist, technologist, and negotiator, Andi is a fantastic leader who works tirelessly to mentor, support and grow her people. Her talent to get the best out of our team was amazing to witness, and the leadership lessons I learned from her will be with me forever. Any organization would be lucky to benefit from Andi's extraordinary leadership and talent as a CIO.

Andi is such an amazing leader that truly defines what servant leadership is all about. I still am so thankful for the mentorship and leadership she has provided during my tenure at JetBlue. I am certain that I would not be who I am today without Andrea Azzolina. She has made such a lasting impression and impact in both my personal life and in my career. She is brilliant with talent planning, relationship building, team motivation and all this is displayed through her dedication and passion to drive a winning culture. I can't say enough and could go on all day about Andi. When I am stuck in a dilemma, I would reflect back and think how would Andi handle the situation. It has not failed me yet. I wanted to take this time to write a recommendation and thank her again for making such a lasting impact on me. You won't find many leaders like Andi today and if you are lucky enough to have her on your team, you will be thankful like I am today.
