About Andrea
Andrea Mandel-Campbell is a veteran journalist, author and sought-after
public speaker. She is currently a contributing editor at CTV's Business
News Network and is the author of the celebrated book, Why Mexicans Don't
Drink Molson. Nominated for the Writer's Trust Shaughnessy Cohen Award for
Political Writing and the John Wesley Dafoe Book Prize, Why Mexicans takes a
penetrating and unapologetic look at why Canadian companies fail to go
global and why they must. As a public speaker, Andrea regularly travels the
country to speak with government, companies and industry associations about
the challenges and opportunities globalization offers and what Canadians
need to do to be more competitive both from a private and public policy
perspective.
Andrea is on the board of directors of the Canadian Council for the Americas
and in 2008 the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) awarded her an
Honorary Certified International Trade Professional designation (CITP). She
also sits on the editorial board of Export Development Canada's quarterly
magazine, ExportWise. She is the co-founder of Forgirlsake, a charity which
funds grassroots projects in support of girls' education around the world.
A foreign correspondent in Latin America for close to a decade, Andrea was
the Mexico bureau chief for London's Financial Times as well as
correspondent in Argentina for Business Week magazine. In Canada, she worked
as a feature writer for the National Post, specializing in global
competitiveness issues and has contributed to Maclean's and The Walrus magazines. In 2006 Andrea won a media fellowship from the Asia Pacific
Foundation of Canada to travel to China and write about Canada-China
business ties for Maclean's magazine.
She lives in Toronto with her husband, daughter Isabella, and son, Adrian.
