Andi Cross Biography
Andi Cross is an international leader fiercely dedicated to redefining how businesses coexist with the natural world and the communities they directly and indirectly affect. With over 15 years of experience helping both major corporations scale and building impact startups -- as well as nearly a decade in marine and terrestrial conservation -- she bridges the gap between corporate ambition and environmental responsibility. She is constantly vying for a future where people and planet both win. Her work spans industries, guiding businesses, agencies, and venture capital firms to integrate sustainability into the heart of their portfolio’s strategies.
Since 2017, she has been the Strategist in Residence at H/L Ventures -- a firm championing historically underserved founders --where she has helped build purpose-driven companies. Previously, as Vice President of Strategic Growth at Huge, Inc., she helped grow the leading digital and design firm to be more effective service-focused leaders. She has worked with world-renowned brands such as Coca-Cola, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Hyundai, and Norwegian Cruise Lines during her tenure at Ogilvy & Mather and other leading agencies around the globe.
A pivotal moment in her journey came when she combined her corporate expertise with field expeditions to some of the world’s most vulnerable regions. Seeing the disconnect between ESG strategies and the realities faced by communities on the frontlines of climate change, Cross founded a sustainability consulting firm in 2018. Since then, she has partnered with over 250 field experts in 40+ countries, guiding 50+ partners toward delivering tangible change.
Cross' next-generation approach is rooted in lived experience, bringing practicality and positivity to even the heaviest climate and conservation challenges. While the scope of climate issues may feel overwhelming, she helps enterprise businesses and startups find actionable paths forward without compromising their financial objectives. Her work and insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, Forbes, TIME magazine, the "Today" show, and more, highlighting her relentless drive to push boundaries in environmental stewardship and corporate sustainability.
