Hey, I’m Andrée!

Andrée Starå

I'm from the South of Sweden (but writing this from Italy by the Garda Lake)

I run a consulting business, and I'm a Smartsheet Expert & Partner and how I found and got started with Smartsheet is a funny story, or at least I think soo 😉

I'm also an Evernote Certified Consultant, and back in the day, there was an integration with Smartsheet, and I had a look but didn't get Smartsheet at first glance.

A couple of months later, I retook a look, and it just clicked, and I really saw the power and flexibility of the platform and the future potential, and I just knew that I had to be a partner in Sweden, Nordic, Europe, and the World. 😉 I contacted Smartsheet directly, and then the rest is history!

Thanks, Smartsheet, for the trust in me way back then! 🤗

I'm coming up to the sixth year being a Smartsheet Partner and to bet entirely on Smartsheet is one of my best business decisions ever.

I love it! ❤️ and I love developing Smartsheet solutions for clients and helping in the Smartsheet Community!

I have two wonderful daughters, nine and twelve, and a fantastic supporting wife that is part of the company but not (yet) Smartsheet savvy. (I'm working on it!) 😉

Fun facts, or at least points that you probably didn't know about me.

• I went one year to a music school and continued on a Media Program, and I was studying to become a sound technician/music producer, but then l started working in sales, and to become a name in the field of the music world would require many years more of school, so I decided to continue producing music as a hobby, and continue my career in sales instead.
• I started producing my music at the music school, then I began to write lyrics and rapping, so yes, I can rap, or at least I could way back, like 20+ years ago.
• I still produce music, but now it's not melodic hip-hop. It's Trance and club music.

• Music Favorites, Swedish House Mafia, Above & Beyond, and more. 🔈 🔊 I listen to everything!
• I love movies, and I have a gold card at the cinema. 🍿 🎥
• I've been a model.

• I've interviewed Infinite Mass & an alien abductee. 👽
• I love gadgets and tech, and I think I've tried all controllers/tools for music and productivity.
• My favorite tv show is Seinfeld, and I've probably watched it a million times.

I think it is awesome how much you contribute to the user base and help the Smartsheet community Andrée.

FYI I'm a big Trance fan; I flew to Amsterdam and went to Trance Energy 15 in 2008, and I listen to Armin's ASOT at work https://www.youtube.com/c/astateoftrance/videos

...and have most of the Platipus Records catalog on vinyl from back in the day. I'm a geriatric raver!

@Seth Morth

Thanks for the kind words.

Trance Energy back in 2008, 🤩

Platipus records, there are some classics.

We were at Friends Arena for Swedish House Mafias' last tour ten years ago (we'll it was the last back then, haha), and that was such a magical moment.

Especially this moment.

We were also in Vegas, and I almost went to EDC, but I think it was the last day before going home, so we didn't go. 😞

I listen to everything but ABGT (Above & Beyond Group Therapy) and Paul Van Dyk's VONYC and Sunday Sessions I always listen to.

This just got released from SHM. (Coachella)

I will never be over this photo of you as a model! Obsessed! I think also think we need a music meetup for Smartsheet Community Members soon - we have such a talented bunch in here.
