🌟 Meet Our New Market Development Manager : Andrew Green!🌟

We’re thrilled to welcome Andrew Green to the team! Andrew brings a wealth of experience in business growth, relationship building, and community development. With his passion for helping professionals succeed and his drive for creating lasting connections, Andrew is the perfect addition to our growing team.

Here’s a little about him:
✨ Andrew Green was born and raised in the Sunshine State. He doesn't like to brag... but he was top of his class from Pre-K to 12th grade, too bad he was homeschooled.

At an early age, Andrew found his spark in the restaurant industry. He quickly became First Watch's youngest general manager in the chain's history at that point.

After 9 (long) years in the restaurant business, Andrew took his budget focused leadership skills to the world of accounting... Andrew is a licensed accountant and has been in the industry for over 11 years. Andrew has been dedicated over the years to be relationship focused and to helping his clients get creative with Uncle Sam while still staying in compliance (of Course).

Moving on to the important things - Andrew and his wife Leigh Anne decided to tie the knot in 2021 and now have 2 boys together! Austin who is a 3 year old with a ball of energy and Michael who is 8 months old and wants all the baby snuggles.

Andrew joined a BNI chapter that was launching in Maitland, 3 years ago and currently works on the BNI Leadership Team as a Director Consultant and a Launch Director for newly forming chapters.

Andrew is a highly relationship focused individual and loves helping business owners grow their businesses and watch their lives change forever

We’re so excited to have Andrew on board and can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make in our region!
Please join us in giving him a warm welcome 👏

Big news, FL Central! 👋 Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new Area Director, Tom Jacob! 🎉 Tom will be working alongside Michelle to support and grow our active chapters and amazing region! Get to know Tom better- His bio is below! 👇

Tom Jacob grew up in North Georgia and earned His degree in Management Information Systems from the University of Georgia. The year He graduated was a whirlwind—he got married, welcomed his first daughter, commissioned into the Marine Corps, and shipped off for training. He spent four years as an Engineer Officer, traveling all over the world before returning to Georgia to work as a shift supervisor at a recycling plant.

After about a year, He decided to continue his education and was accepted into Emory’s MBA program. Upon graduation, he was recruited into Liberty Mutual Insurance’s Leadership Development Program, which brought him to Orlando. After 10 years with Liberty, another daughter, a few dogs, and tons of life experiences, he decided that he wanted to do something closer to his community. He had several friends who were members of BNI and recommended him for this role once it opened.

On the personal side, He plays in an adult soccer league on weekends and love adventure-focused hobbies. Most of his free time is spent at his daughters’ gymnastics meets, band concerts, and other shenanigans.

He is very excited to use his experience, relationships, and passion for connecting people to help our region thrive.
