Andrea Massey-Farrell has always known she wanted to work with people. After earning a degree in organizational communications from Rollins College, she began her career as an Office Manager and worked her way up to president/CEO of Massey Communications (now Moxe). In 2014, she joined Massey Services as the Senior VP of Community Relations AND President & CEO of the Harvey and Carol Massey Foundation to lead Massey’s commitment to giving back to our communities.

Andrea has been the driving force behind many successful volunteer initiatives and is also a fervent advocate for educational advancement and the arts. She serves on multiple boards including Nemours Florida Board of Managers, the Orlando Shakes Board of Trustees (president), the One Orlando Alliance Board, the Mead Botanical Garden Board of Trustees (past chair), the Winter Park High School Foundation Board of Directors (president-elect), The Victory Cup Initiative Board of Directors and the YMCA of Central Florida.

Over the last two years, Andrea has seen many local non-profits that the foundation supports struggle due to the pandemic and has made it a top priority to ensure these organizations continued to receive necessary support. She has volunteered many hours of her time sharing her expertise on fundraising and other efforts that can be done in the community.

For the past few years, Andrea has led the charge in creating a company-wide holiday giving initiative. This initiative involved the participation of every single Team Member across all 172 of the company’s locations. “It was such an inspiration to see the excitement of our Team Members when they delivered gifts to these organizations,” she said.

Despite the time-consuming challenges of each of her positions, Andrea has recently taken the reins of Ranch Operations for the Checkerboard Cattle Company, as Managing Director for the Massey family-owned ranch in Montana. “I love what I do, and I want our sons to know that if you work hard and believe in what you do, great things can happen,” said Andrea.

As a business leader, a wife and a mother of twin teenage sons, Andrea is passionate about supporting our community and tirelessly demonstrates the importance of giving back.
