Andrea Steinbrenner

CEO, Partner

Andrea Steinbrenner is the Chief Executive Officer and Partner at Exit Consulting Group, Inc. (ECG). An experienced, versatile executive who has worked across a multitude of industries throughout her career, Andrea’s objective is to leave businesses better than she finds them and works hard to provide her clients and companies with their best possible outcome.

Andrea began her career in the Midwest, working her way up the managerial ladder in the retail industry. After marrying a naval officer, she attended San Diego State University and earned a Bachelor’s in accounting. She then worked for TGG Accounting, a mid-sized, outsourced accounting firm, and quickly rose through the ranks to become a fractional CFO working in a number of industries, including construction, manufacturing, retail, professional services, financial services, cannabis, hospitality, franchises and e-commerce sectors, among others. Deciding to take her career in a slightly different direction, Andrea became the VP of Operations and grew the company from less than 100 clients to over 250. After receiving an EMBA, Andrea left her position and started Canopy Consulting, a business consulting firm. She was referred to Exit Consulting Group (ECG) as a consultant in 2019 and is transitioning to CEO in October 2022.

Andrea emphasizes the importance of clear communication and demonstrates this skill by listening to the wants, needs, goals, and priorities of each client before collaborating to find the starting point in the client’s journey. She brings the same skills to working with staff, searching to find solutions that best fit the situation and move people towards their goals while maintaining the company’s culture and values. Andrea describes the structure of a company as a rainforest. The executives and senior staff are in the canopy and see the over-arching “big picture” while there may be a lot of organized chaos on the ground. Andrea is “Tarzan” (a.k.a. the bridge) of the rainforest and ensures there is clear communication and collaboration from the canopy to the ground.

Andrea is an active military wife and favorite activities include: cooking, hiking, reading, spending time with friends and family, and raising poodles with husband, Todd.

Andrea’s WIN is seeing people succeed and helping them find the best way to reach their goals.
