SIIA’s TechChats provides a look into some of the most successful executives in our industry. Hear how many of them got to where they are today, what is shaping their businesses and the industry today, and special advice they would give to others trying to grow a successful company.

I recently sat down with Andy Hilliard President of Accelerance, Inc., a leader in global software development outsourcing. In this role, Andy is responsible for leading Accelerance’s overall operations and cultivating strategic partnerships to expand its network of software development firms worldwide. An IT industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience, Andy has a proven track record of taking a personalized approach to matching clients with software development partners best suited to fulfill their individual needs. Andy’s success is largely due to his passion for the global software development industry and his enthusiasm for helping the underserviced market grow their networks and experience their full potential, no matter where they are in the world.

Andy received an MBA in international business, strategy, finance and marketing from the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University and London Business School. He also received a BSBA in finance and marketing from the University of Denver.
