Bio
Patrice Funderburg, she.her
After close to 10 years volunteering with Andrea on various diversity & workforce readiness programs as well as the SHRM Diversity Committee in Buffalo, NY, I had the distinct pleasure of reporting directly to Andrea during my tenure at Definity Health. Andrea embodies the very defnition of servant leadership, never expecting anything in return for so much that she gives willingly. I've personally experienced Andrea's leadership during challenging times as well as celebratory times when Definity "signed the deal" with major new clients. As a consultant, I know Andrea will deliver nothing short of superior service to her clients. You know you'll be ok with Andrea in your corner.

Andrea was my HR Director at Definity Health. She provided clear vision, set precise expectations and exemplified an open door policy! She is a true professional, not only in a corporate environment but also through her work ethic and personal character! I would recommend her in any capacity...she is a great team builder and knows how to get the job done! She is a testament of effective leadership!
