Andresen brings extensive experience in technology, analytics, and AI innovation, developed across both Fortune 500 corporations and high-growth ventures.

Leadership emphasized that Andresen’s expertise in corporate R&D, digital operations, and AI development is expected to strengthen Wiley’s innovation agenda and contribute meaningfully to board discussions.
In addition to her executive roles, Andresen has contributed to several Wiley-published books on digital transformation and has served as a guest lecturer at Georgetown University and adjunct professor at American University. She is recognized in the digital strategy domain and is part of LinkedIn’s Top Voices program, highlighting thought leaders in the field.
