Biography & Author's Journey
Andrew Sobel built his reputation at the intersection of strategy consulting, executive coaching, and authorship. Educated at Middlebury College and Dartmouth’s Tuck School, he spent the first phase of his career at Gemini Consulting, eventually rising to country-level leadership. A formative turning point came when he moved to London early in his career to help launch a new office; his years in Europe, and the cross-cultural fluency that came with them, helped shape a view that influence rests not only on expertise but also on trust, perspective, and human understanding.
