About Andre Havro

Director of Marketing and Operations at IMFoC

Welcome! I’m a dedicated marketing strategist, instructor, and published author with extensive experience guiding organizations to thrive—from global corporations and agencies to startups and nonprofit organizations.

Over the years, I've led initiatives in go-to-market strategy, customer growth, lifecycle marketing, and digital transformation, while nurturing high-performing teams and building scalable marketing systems.

My true passion lies in teaching and mentoring the next generation of marketers. I have had the privilege of teaching postgraduate courses in Digital Marketing and Web & Conversion Analytics, and I'm also the author of three marketing books, one of which was named the #2 Most Gifted Business book on Amazon in 2023.

My mentoring style is practical, honest, and strategy-first. Whether you're a student, marketer, entrepreneur, or career changer, I’ll help you think like a marketing leader—not just execute tactics. Together, we'll clarify your goals, strengthen your strategic thinking, improve your personal brand, prepare for interviews, solve real marketing challenges, and build a roadmap for long-term career growth.

If you're looking for candid feedback or actionable advice, I'd be happy to help.

Sessions with Andre Havro

• Marketing Career & Strategy Mentoring (30 min): Marketing is bigger than digital. Let’s work on the skills, strategy, and direction you need to move forward. Whether you’re starting your marketing career, transitioning from another field, moving from execution into strategy or leadership, or facing a marketing or growth challenge, this 30-minute one-on-one session is built around you and where you want to go next. I’ve spent 25+ years doing marketing, not just talking about it, across global brands, agencies, entrepreneurship, consulting, education, and nonprofits. I’m also an American Marketing Association (AMA) Collegiate Mentor and ADPList Top 50 Mentor. I intentionally set aside time to mentor because I believe marketers need more than tools, platforms, and the latest AI trend. Great marketing starts with understanding people, businesses, and the fundamentals that connect them. We can explore career transitions, digital, product, GTM and growth marketing, strategic leadership, customer acquisition and lifecycle, nonprofit marketing, AI, and the skills you need for your next step. My philosophy: Diagnose first. Strategize later. Come with your questions. Leave with practical advice, clearer direction, and actionable next steps.
