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.
