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’ marketing, branding, and public relations efforts by bringing together the public, private, political, and community sectors. Andy is a natural “connector,” a term referred to in the book The Tipping Point by author Malcolm Gladwell, and Andy has parlayed that skill into his professional life.

“The ideal business climate is one that holds relationships to a higher standard. Trust, integrity, honesty, and loyalty are key aspects of any great decision maker: in business, in politics, in life.”

Early on, Andy learned the fundamentals of success: hard work, determination, and fortitude, and he has used those values throughout his career. When Andy was 25, he became a Senior Vice President of Business Development for a large telecommunications firm based in Denver and was responsible for marketing and community investment in 11 different markets nationwide. Andy’s team grew revenue significantly for four consecutive years. Later, he was instrumental in two different companies exceeding their community involvement goals, and he assisted numerous senior-level executives to become well integrated into the communities in which they worked and served.

Andy has also been actively involved in politics at the local and national levels, working on both sides of the aisle as a senior campaign advisor and speechwriter. In these capacities he has worked on numerous mayoral, gubernatorial, and presidential campaigns for the past 18 years. He served on the transition team for a former United States Interior Secretary and also the nation’s forty-second President. Andy is a part-time professor of Political Science at Metropolitan State College and an adjunct professor of International Studies at the University of Denver. He was honored to receive Metropolitan State College’s "Favorite Professor" award in both 2003 and 2006.

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." He is asked to speak regularly on various corporate, community, and political topics.
