There is a relatively small segment of business leaders in the business world who seem able to build long-standing relationships, trust and rapport with almost anyone and then be able to broker those relationships to create partnerships and alliances, and motivating forward momentum to “get things done”.
Andres is one of those people; getting things done and driving results-through collaboration, partnerships and relationships is what he is all about. With an enthusiastic and genuinely friendly attitude, Becerra radiates a sincere passion for delivering value and benefits to his customers.
Having earned his Bachelors in Economics at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota and a MBA through the University of Miami, he spent 5 years as a business developer at Richmond School (K-12). Andres created and implemented a progressive plan to secure funding and led the Academic team to increase value proposition and drive growth. This undertaking resulted in an increase of student population from 240 to 700 students and gross revenues from $300Kto $8MM. Prior to this, Andres was responsible for achieving the ISO certification to enhance quality assurance practices; thus greatly enhancing customer satisfaction.
After moving back to the United States in 2000, A1 Anherma was opened soon after. Becerra utilizes his international connections and experience as a contractor for the US and Colombian government missions supplying logistics, parts acquisition and supply chain management services. Recently Becerra achieved the 8(a) certification for A1 Anherma to take the company to the next level.
Highly adaptable to diverse cultural backgrounds and industries demonstrated through his shift from the educational sector to defense trade in the US, Becerra is an accomplished leader and entrepreneur.
