Carla Andrews Smith Center Board Member

Carla is a global adventurer, avid volunteer, art lover, and two-time breast cancer survivor. Professionally, Carla is a Principal at Deloitte Consulting in Strategy, where she serves clients across government, nonprofit, and private sectors.

Prior to Deloitte, Carla was a consultant at the Monitor Group, where her career took her from the US to residing in Spain and the UK, and working across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and India. Now back in the US, she is a leader in Deloitte’s Federal Health and Health Equity practices.

Her work in health is in part motivated by her experience as a young adult facing cancer. Carla’s cancer was initially misdiagnosed; she was dismissed as “too young” in her early 20s to have breast cancer. Finally diagnosed years later, Carla was fortunate to have supportive family, friends, access to healthcare, and a committed care team. While undergoing aggressive treatment, Carla found painting classes helped in recovery.

Carla earned her MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business and her undergraduate degree from Stanford University. Inspired by seeing many generations of her family dedicated to civil rights and the community, Carla has actively volunteered for most of her life. She was a member of the London Junior League and previously served on the Board of Directors at Lolly’s Locks, a national non-profit that provided high-quality wigs cost-free to cancer patients with economic need.
