Andrew Embry

Sr. Director of Insights Innovation and Capabilities

Lilly

If you mixed diet mountain dew, funk music, dragons, hip hop, superheroes, and lightning in a blender you’d end up with Andrew Embry. He is part wordsmith, part mad scientist, and part alchemist, able to use his Batman utility belt to turn anything and everything into a story worth telling that is equal parts insightful, memorable, inspiring, humorous, and entertaining. Andrew is comfortably creative in almost any setting, but especially when he is performing spoken word poetry. His enthusiasm for words comes from the way he loves people and the little nuances of life that make it worth living. This zest for life and passion for patients has helped him successfully utilize his talents in many roles at Lilly. Andrew is now leveraging his passion for people and creative vision to lead enterprise-wide AI initiatives as the Sr. Director of Insights Innovation & Capabilities of Market Research at Lilly.
