Losing the title, the structure, the social network and the built-in purpose was far more destabilizing than she expected.Today, Andrea is a certified executive and retirement coach (ACC, CPRC) who works with founders, CEOs, and senior leaders navigating major transitions. She helps high achievers slow down long enough to ask the right question: Am I running from something… or moving toward something?Because at 55+, a reactive exit can impact income, identity, and future options in ways people underestimate.Andrea is the author of Your Next Edit and the creator of The Next Edit Substack, where she focuses on the emotional, psychological and social side of life after success - the part traditional planning rarely addresses.
