Andrade’s accomplishments include positioning Charleston as a premier destination for tech companies by growing the Digital Corridor in Charleston, S.C. from 18 to 400+ companies since 2001, launching a year-round CODEcamp initiative, developing two business incubators in Charleston and a third in Beaufort, and developing software products for use by other communities and business development agencies including the State of South Carolina.
