Portrait of Andrea Michalek
Meet Andrea Michalek

Software developer, CTO, and founder. Andrea co-founded and led Plum Analytics as CEO, and served as VP of Research Metrics at Elsevier.

Across startups, acquisitions, and enterprise organizations, she kept asking the same question: why do some leaders consistently create breakthroughs while others create only incremental progress? That question became Beyond Incremental.

Sometimes the breakthrough isn't another course — it's having the right thought partner. Andrea works with a limited number of founders, executives, leadership teams, and product organizations navigating growth, change, innovation, and leadership transitions.
