Andy Boian

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

A Denver native, Andy is passionate about the integration of business and community. In 2005 he founded dovetail solutions, a company that maximizes its clients’ branding, public relations and marketing efforts by bringing together the public, private, political and community sectors. Andy is a natural “connector,” a term coined in The Tipping Point by author Malcolm Gladwell. Andy has effectively parlayed this skill into his professional life.

Early on, Andy learned the fundamentals of success -- hard work, determination and fortitude -- and he has maintained these values throughout his career. When he was 25, he was named the senior vice president of business development for a large telecommunications firm based in Denver and was responsible for marketing and community investment in 11 nationwide locations. His team grew revenue significantly for four consecutive years. Later, he was instrumental in several companies exceeding their community involvement goals, and he assisted numerous senior-level executives to become well integrated into the communities in which they lived, worked and served.

Andy is actively involved in politics at both the local and national level, working on both sides of the aisle as a senior campaign advisor and speechwriter. In these capacities he has worked on numerous mayoral, gubernatorial, U.S. Senate and presidential campaigns for more than 20 years. He served on the transition teams for a United States interior secretary, as well as the nation’s forty-second president. Andy is a part-time professor of political science at Metropolitan State College and was honored to receive Metro State’s “Favorite Professor” award in 2003 and 2006. He is also an adjunct professor of international studies at the University of Denver and has taught at the University of Colorado. Andy was recognized by his alma mater as an alumnus of distinction in 2011, the first in political science in the history of the university.

In 2007, Andy was the recipient of the Denver Business Journal’s "Forty Under 40" award and the Colorado Statesman’s "Fifty For The Future."
