Andy Szpekman

Andy helps clients improve business performance through employee research; communication strategy and messaging; and corporate, employee and executive communications. Before taking on consulting engagements for Strait Insights and other firms, he held senior-level communications positions at The Hartford, Bank of America, and Warner-Lambert (which was later acquired by Pfizer). He started his career at Brecker & Merryman, Inc., an HR and communications consultancy based in New York.

For over 30 years, Andy has helped clients meet communication challenges on topics ranging from finance transformation to benefit plan changes. And since 2003, he has maintained multi-year consulting relationships with dozens of household-name clients.

Andy has served on the board of directors of the Communication Leadership Exchange and the Metropolitan New York Association of Applied Psychology, and his work has been featured in national news publications and leading trade journals. He holds a B.A. in psychology from William Paterson University, an M.A. in organizational psychology from Columbia University, and a graduate certificate in survey research from the University of Connecticut.

He lives in Canton, CT, where he dreams of having more time to practice the mandolin and actually get good at it.
