➡️ About The Guest
Andy Schoonover is an accomplished entrepreneur and business leader with a distinguished career that began after earning a BS in Commerce from the McIntire School at the University of Virginia. At Host Marriott Corporation, now known as Host Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: HST), Andy honed his skills in Treasury, Asset Management, and Acquisition and Development, overseeing transactions valued at approximately $1.5 billion. 
Andy’s career trajectory shifted when he attended Stanford Business School, where the entrepreneurial spirit took hold. Passing on opportunities at tech giants like Google and Facebook, Andy, along with his business school roommate Chris Hendriksen, founded Blue Canyon Capital in September 2006. The firm acquired Valued Relationships, Inc. (VRI) in Dayton, Ohio, where Andy served as CEO, driving a fourfold growth in revenues and leading to a successful sale to Pamlico Capital in 2014, yielding a gross return of approximately 9x.
