Andrea Naddaff

Principal

MS, Communications Management, Simmons College
BA, Psychology and English, Mount Holyoke College

Andrea has been building client relationships and advising on brand issues for over 20 years. She works directly with clients to ensure their vision and strategy are executed to their standards and she knows a good thing when she sees it - a skill she cultivated from a young age. She began honing her inquisitive mind while attending Milton Academy. From there she earned her BA in Psychology with a Minor in English from Mount Holyoke College and her Masters in Communications from Simmons.

She is a frequent speaker on branding, identity and client relationship topics at industry conferences and associations including the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), Center for Women and Enterprise, the Regional Independent School Council, the National Providers Council, The American Montessori Association, the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), the Institute for Non-Profit Practice (INP) and the Simmons MBA program. Andrea is a member of the Massachusetts Information and Technology Exchange (MITX), co-president of the Mount Holyoke Club of the Western Suburbs, founding member of the Association of Women Entrepreneurs and an advisory member for The Science Club for Girls.

Andrea loves to expand her knowledge through her passions. And while her curiosity takes her to museums and even skydiving, she strikes a balance with old movies starring Charles Laughton or Bette Davis, or dishing a good issue of People magazine. Andrea's spirit simply doesn't allow for sitting still, and maybe that's why one of her daydreams is on the flipside: to read an issue of the New Yorker in one sitting.
