Andrew Singer

A Senior Executive leading operations excellence and transformative strategies for success, I serve as a true catalyst for change — developing and inspiring teams to promote an empowered work culture and drive sustained growth. With more than 30 years of progressive and broad-based experience, I have a strong track record of enhancing strategy and creating innovative solutions that generate success across Operations, Business Development, IT, Procurement, Supply Chain, Marketing, Support Services, & HR. As Senior Vice President, Centralized Services for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), I oversee and manage Event & Meeting Services, Real Estate & Facilities, Procurement, and Procure to Pay, and work hard each day to contribute to our mission to beat cancer. I have supported excellence in fundraising efforts with strategic Operations leadership, which have produced some of the top fundraising years in the history of the organization. I’m passionate about leading and developing diverse teams across the nation and act as a guiding force through transformative and challenging times. I’m proud to have led critical restructuring and organizational change to continue successful fundraising efforts in the virtual space throughout 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic. I believe that building strong international relationships is central to success. I deliver trusted leadership for teams across the U.S. and serve as the organization’s liaison for our counterparts at LLS Canada. With effective communications, robust collaboration, and strong structures in operations across functions, organizations can truly thrive. Working my way up from the front lines, I’ve led transformations through turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions, and comprehensive restructures. I’m looking forward to tackling the challenges of the future — with dedication, collaboration, and a never-ending passion to create positive change. I am proud to have earned a lifetime C.P.M. designation (Certified Purchasing Manager) and a CPSD (Certified Professional in Supplier Diversity) from the Institute of Supply Management where I have been an active participant at both the local and national organization while holding various leadership positions.
