Preparation + Passion + Opportunity = Growth with Andrew Cohen
Andrew Cohen
Andrew is the CEO and Co-Founder of Work Better Now, a virtual assistant company that is revolutionizing the talent recruiting industry. Before launching Work Better Now, he was a business advisor for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program. Andrew and his partner, Rob Levin, saw a gap in the virtual assistant market in 2018. They knew that every business could have an assistant that delivers REAL value to their operation, but there was no way to connect affordable, top quality candidates with the businesses that needed them the most. The business model was a natural fit for Andrew, and Work Better Now has hit 30% team growth in the last 6 months. Andrew has a unique and inspiring journey. An entrepreneur at heart, he discovered early on that growing and scaling businesses was closely connected to helping others make things happen. Now, he’s at the leading edge of a new frontier in recruiting and business development. Andrew is passionate about helping clients grow their businesses while also providing never-before-available opportunities for his team at WBN. Work Better Now connects top talent to thriving businesses in ways that weren’t possible ten years ago.
