NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global leader in omni-channel

Chief Administration Office and Chief Human Resources Officer
Andrea Ledford has been named to the Metro Atlanta Chamber
Innovation & Entrepreneurship Advisory Board.
As a member of this prestigious group, Ledford will serve
alongside other C-level executives, local university presidents,
investors, and representatives from Invest Atlanta and the Georgia
Department of Economic Development. Together, they will work to
position Atlanta as a top-tier global competitor that will
continue to attract new companies and talent, while leading
the region to a more prosperous and vibrant future.
“Being named to the Metro Atlanta Chamber Advisory Board is a
well-deserved recognition for Andrea, who was an early proponent
for moving NCR’s Global Headquarters Campus to Midtown Atlanta,”
said NCR Chairman and CEO Bill Nuti. “Andrea will use her vast
knowledge and expertise to help the Chamber realize our shared
vision of helping Atlanta become the Silicon Valley of the
East.”
The appointment will allow Ledford to further NCR’s strategic
priorities, including the company’s many partnerships with the
university system of Georgia. NCR recruits heavily from local
schools for both internships and full-time and ‘gateway’ hires. The
company also funds a variety of technology and STEM-focused
scholarship programs for Georgia students and is a sponsor of Women
in Technology, an advocacy group for women and girls pursing STEM
careers.
NCR recently opened its new global headquarters campus, which
will be home to approximately 5,000 skilled professionals. The
state-of-the-art campus will be roughly 750,000 square feet of
space when completed. It is comprised of two office towers situated
at the corner of 8th and Spring streets in the heart of burgeoning
Midtown Atlanta. Areas of the campus will be accessible to the
public and the lecture hall is already being utilized to co-host
events for students from local universities including Georgia
Tech.
