Andrew Ciszczon
I help small and mid-sized businesses navigate business and technology change, with a focus on strategy, marketing, and the systems that hold them together.
My experience spans marketing transformation and business development operations across manufacturing industries. My approach combines strategic thinking with practical execution.
Before PDL, I led strategic projects at Commercial Vehicle Group and Freudenberg-NOK. That included building reports that cut the time a process took in half, and modernizing how marketing worked, from the strategy and processes to the tools behind them.
My superpower is connecting dots across strategy, technology, people, and much more.
As a systems thinker, I see how changes in one area affect others.
Built on trust and transparency.
Practical, people-driven solutions, guided by the same four values behind everything PDL does.
AI makes my work faster and sharper: research, analysis, and first drafts. It doesn't do the thinking for me, and it doesn't replace our conversations. The judgment, the recommendations, and the relationship are mine.
Off the clock
The parts of me that don't show up on a resume.
Pushing limits on two wheels.
Multiple scales, grinders, and a spreadsheet to track the brews.
Devoted supporter. I try not to let their results set my mood.
Giving back
I volunteer as a mentor with Cleveland Business Mentors, a nonprofit that pairs Cleveland-area business owners with experienced mentors. All industries, all stages, always free.
Most importantly, I'm a dad.
I'm passionate about shaping a future where technology works for human potential, not the other way around.
