Andy Freed is the CEO of Virtual, Inc., a strategic consulting, marketing, and professional services firm that supports mission-driven organizations facing multi-dimensional challenges in technology, healthcare, financial services, and life sciences. These include membership groups that unite some of the world’s largest brands - like Microsoft, Meta, and Google - to collaborate on shared industry goals. Virtual has been recognized as a best place to work, guided by integrity, collaboration, and client-first values. With more than 30 years of experience leading organizations through growth and transformation, Andy knows that the best leaders succeed through clear, compelling communication. He has a rare gift for crafting stories and messages that resonate deeply, sparking action, inspiring alignment, and elevating performance - whether he’s uniting global coalitions, coaching CEOs, or building high-performing teams. Andy is even more fanatical about communicating to inspire than he is about Bruce Springsteen (and that’s saying a lot) - it’s his life’s work. From keynote performances to small-group strategy sessions, he brings energy, clarity, and intention to every interaction.
