My journey into executive home care business ownership stems from a deeply personal commitment to serving our most vulnerable populations, particularly seniors and individuals with disabilities. Growing up as the child of parents who escaped Communist Europe, I was instilled with profound values of compassion, duty, and care for elders and those less fortunate. This foundation led me to help build a specialized laundry and support service business for seniors and shut ins that grew from 32 clients in 1995 to over 3,100 clients by 2019. We recognized that by handling essential tasks like laundry, intake services, shopping, and errands, we could give seniors and individuals more precious time with their home health aides and families. What made this venture truly special was that we operated it as a ministry—caring not only for those we served but also for our employees, ultimately empowering an 11-year employee and first-generation American team member to purchase and elevate the business to new heights.
Over the past two decades, my philanthropic career has deepened my appreciation for the aging population and their families throughout the Greater Boston Northeast region. Through roles with organizations like The Salvation Army, The YMCA, higher ed, and the arts, I became a trusted advisor in securing charitable gifts while witnessing firsthand the challenges and needs facing our seasoned community members. My experience as a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy and my success in complex fundraising has taught me the power of investing in people who care for those we care about. Now, as I transition into executive healthcare business ownership, I’m driven to create sustainable, compassionate solutions that honor the dignity of our elders while supporting the dedicated professionals who serve them. My goal is to build businesses that operate with the same ministry mindset that guided our laundry service: treating every client as family and every employee as a valued partner in our mission to enhance quality of life for those who have given so much to our communities. André lives in Northeast Greater Boston with his wife Melissa of 20 years and their three children, his mother, and their puppy.
