Andrew Korbel

Ive never had a set destination when considering my careermy first job out of college was as a cartographer! Ive always gravitated toward opportunities that challenge me to think differently while bringing a balance between big-picture thinking and execution.

Unsurprisingly, my interests have led me to various roles within software companies. Today, I currently lead R&D Operations at Clari. Before this role, I was a VP in the Product & Technology Center of Excellence at Insight Partners. While at Insight Partners, I worked closely with portfolio company executives to accelerate growth and create operational capabilities through lean and agile processes and data-driven strategies. Being a part of the team at Insight allowed me to leverage all my learnings and failures throughout my career to give back to Senior Executives across their portfolio. Previously to Insight Partners, I was the VP of Product Operations at Carbon Black, where I designed and built their product operations capabilities. Ive also been Chief of Staff to product and engineering leaders, along with leading R&D Operations at Rally Software and SignalFx through their ScaleUp journeys. Ive also spearheaded engineering at other B2B SaaS companies.

I love sharing my knowledge and experiences in scaling and orchestrating R&D organizations. I live in Colorado but grew up in West Virginia. I enjoy spending time with my family and taking advantage of all that Colorado offers, including hiking, camping, skiing, and the Nuggets, to name a few. Im an avid bike rider and Pittsburgh sports fan, and I love to cook and read!
