ANDREA KLEIN
FOUNDER/CEO
RAND TECHNOLOGY
WHY: Built global distribution company Rand Technology from the kitchen table into a global force. Became the first ISO-certified independent distributor and claims to be the only 100% woman-owned company of its kind.
NOTABLE: Founded in 1992, Rand Tech has grown into a full-service partner for Fortune 500 companies. Customers include top names such as Dell, HP, Cisco, Arista Networks, Microsoft, Meta and Apple—the Fortune 100 hardware technology companies. Passionate advocate for women in tech, speaking regularly to inspire the next generation of leaders.
QUOTABLE: “I work continuously to assure the company remains one step ahead of the complex, ever-shifting global technological landscape. One such advancement is the construction of our R2-certified facility in Tennessee, which is designed for reutilization, rather than recycling, of e-waste. Our efforts promote a greener Earth, create job opportunities, and support underserved communities worldwide by providing affordable technology.”
