Andrea Forsht is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "It's impossible to overstate the impact Andrea has had on the company, as well on my as a professional and a person. Before Andrea started at Quickbase, there was little to no formal DEI structure in place. She took us from some scattered grassroots to having a robust program, on so many fronts: standing up Employee Resource Groups, days of discussion, safe spaces, fish bowl discussions, shepherding heritage months, and so much more, in addition to other Employee Experience programs. Even beyond that, she has been the person to go to amidst heartbreaking and terrifying national events, somehow always making time for every employee who has reached out. On a personal front, Andrea has encouraged me toward leadership in my Employee Resource Group, and has generally inspired me to take up the DEI banner. I'm thankful to Andrea for everything she's done and for who she is." and "Andrea came on with Quickbase in the summer of 2020 when the world felt like it was crashing down around us all. She brought her perfect balance of authenticity, willingness to hold open discussions, and professionalism to play in every aspect of her work. I was able to work with her on one of her first projects: a company-wide series of breakout sessions around understanding the history and current relevance of the Juneteenth holiday. She impressed me with her ability to guide those talks in a professional and yet personally meaningful way. Another project we worked on together was trying to get a specific ERG off the ground, and her guidance on best practices and next steps was invaluable. Her efforts made a huge difference in the DEI initiatives at Quickbase, and I felt lucky to work with her and learn from her. I highly recommend Andrea to any person looking for genuine leadership and/or mentorship with experience and empathy."
