Background

About Andrea Jaffe

As a strategic operating leader, I possess a proven track record of collaborating with internal and external teams to drive long-term profitability across various organizations. My expertise spans diverse industries, including SaaS, hospitality, and publishing, equipping me with the versatility and insight to deliver successful outcomes. In my current role at Avalara, I manage operations of a specialized team at this leading tax and accounting software provider. I am particularly proud of my leadership in integrating Business Licenses into the larger Avalara framework following its acquisition. I spearheaded the cultural assimilation and operational integration of the entities, utilizing data analytics and a creative approach to drive efficiencies and streamline processes. In addition, some of the highlights of my career include the following accomplishments: • Generated $33M in revenue against plans of $27.9M and $30.1M, achieving a gross margin of 73% vs. a budget of 70%. • Delivered nearly $1M in sales while serving as operating and integration leader in the first year post-acquisition. • Offshored administrative functions and tasks, increasing expected margins from 54% to approximately 85%.
