ABOUT FIRSTFRUIT

Experience in business.
A calling to develop leaders.

FirstFruit grew from a personal need for wise counsel and a calling to serve Christian CEOs.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Andre P. Smith

Andre P. Smith, founder of FirstFruit CEO Council
FOUNDER · LEADERSHIP COACH · BUSINESS STRATEGIST

After more than 25 years as a business owner, consultant and strategist—and coaching and training more than 200 CEOs and business leaders—I understood the value of wise counsel. Yet I needed that counsel in my own life, too.

I was looking for a place where I could speak openly about the challenges of leading a business, share my faith, strengthen my leadership and build my company’s capacity. I wanted trusted peers who understood that honoring God was central to how I wanted to lead. And I needed that community to be affordable.

When I couldn’t find the council I needed, I felt God leading me to create it—for myself and for other Christian CEOs.
