A bridge-builder, Andrea connects the worlds of QI, library and knowledge services, and academia. Andrea is a proud Fab Ambassador and Q Connector. She is an honorary research associate at the University of Bristol.
Andrea has a PhD from Bristol University in the use of management consultants in the NHS. Prior to joining the NHS she worked for Accenture, IBM Business Consulting and the Royal Bank of Scotland Group.
