About Me
Deeply comfortable in the unknown. Thrives building the parachute on the way down.
In a quest to accumulate knowledge through self-guided learning and real world-practice Andy Jovane-Flynn has lived many lives.
Provided air-conditioning services with a trunk full of tools in his sedan. When self-funding his start-up he managed an office building. When learning marketing from books, he took an entry-level marketing position at a publishing house to apply what he learned. When his app was not getting the traction he pivoted to owning a general contracting company leveraging his relationships with contractors.
A dual-citizen of the United States and Panama, fluent bilingual verbal and written English and Spanish. Grew up around people from all over the world while attending International School in Panama. Has spent his career working with global teams in countries, including China, South Korea, Canada, the United States, Panama, Colombia, and India.
Andy lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he shares a coworking space (their home) with his son Oliver, plays soccer for Goodfellas FC, and meditates.
