Andy Boian

President & Chief Executive Officer

A Denver native, Andy is passionate about the integration of business and community.  He is Founder, President, and CEO of dovetail solutions, a company that maximizes its clients’ marketing 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 business development and marketing in 11 different markets nationwide.  Andy has overseen spikes in sales as head of business development, helped two companies exceed their community involvement goals, and assisted numerous senior-level executives become well-integrated into their communities. 

Andy has also been actively involved in government 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 mayoral, gubernatorial, and presidential campaigns for the past 15 years.  He also served on the transition team for a former United States Interior Secretary.  Andy is a part-time professor of Political Science at the University of Colorado and Metropolitan State College, and was honored as Metropolitan State College’s favorite professor in 2003 and 2006.  

This year, 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 also a regular guest lecturer at Leadership Denver’s Politics Day each spring. 

Making A Difference

Andy is remarkably active in the Denver community, serving as President of the Board of Kids In Need of Dentistry (KIND), Chair of the Denver Future Forum, a Corporate Committee Member of The Children’s Hospital, Board Member of the Denver Botanic Gardens and Joy House. 

In addition, Andy has contributed dovetail solutions’ resources to the community, as the company sponsors select nonprofits for pro-bono marketing and actively participates in the Denver Public Schools Foundation’s School Partners Program with Columbian Elementary School in Northwest Denver.
