Andre Hills is founder and CEO of The Delta Influence, and Atlanta-based life coaching organization. Born and raised in Savannah, Ga., he suffered an unthinkable tragedy at only 13 years old, losing his mother in a fatal car accident, leaving Hills to assume the role of caretaker of his younger brother. With an impactful realization of how powerful negative thoughts and emotions can be, Hills channeled his efforts to ensure that he and his brother’s lives would develop positively, despite the insurmountable loss. In high school, he began working as a sales associate at a local retail store and at 19, his impeccable work ethic was recognized and he was asked to lead a team at his company’s store in the Atlanta-Metro area.

Since then, Hills has built a reputable career, providing a lasting impression in the retail industry and upon all of his employees. His transition to life and coaching skills were holistically mastered through his experience in caring for his family, while also strategically managing the success of numerous multimillion dollar and publicly-traded retail companies’ locations. Through his experiences, Hills developed a passion for mentoring and strengthened his own internal spirit. (Read more about Andre’s personal journey in his book, But I, said the Ego.)
