If navigating GS1 were an Olympic sport, Andrea would take gold. From barcodes to certifications, she brings calm, know-how and a remarkably steady hand to processes that can test any founder’s sanity. She takes a lot off your plate—and off your mind. We’re very glad she’s in our corner.

Gina Arsens, Founder & CEO, Yumasoy Foods, maker of Om Noms.

We had the pleasure of working with Andrea on Leader Cosmetics’ expansion into the Canadian market, including preparing for entry into Costco and ensuring our products met Canadian regulatory requirements. Throughout the process, Andrea demonstrated strong industry knowledge, professionalism, and a proactive approach to navigating the complexities of market entry and regulatory compliance. Her guidance and support were valuable in helping us understand the requirements and move forward with confidence. We would gladly recommend Andrea to any company seeking expertise in Canadian market expansion, retail distribution, and regulatory compliance.
