Our Executive Team

 

Andrea Klein, Chief Executive Officer

The Company's founder and CEO has over 28 years of industry experience and has been the Company's principal entrepreneurial force and strategic visionary.

A top salesperson in the electronic distribution community for more than 20 years, Andrea was a pioneer in the industry at a time when there were virtually no alternatives for an OEM outside of the factories or franchise distribution. With her creative capabilities, Andrea conceptualized many of the industry's initiatives including total acquisition cost strategies for her customers and has developed critical and longstanding relationships with many of the industry's leading OEM's and CEM's.

Andrea has been an innovator and significant contributor to the evolution of open market distribution. Under her leadership, Rand Technology was the first independent distributor to become ISO certified, the first to establish formal customer partnership programs, and to become one of the leading global independent distributors. Her determined focus on product knowledge, exemplary service and quality product has established Rand as the benchmark for quality and service in the open market.
