BRandei Goolesby Partner & producer

For more than 31 years, Brandei has built her career around something pretty simple: people do business with people they trust. 

She’s a relationship-builder by nature — someone who asks questions, listens closely, and believes the best solution starts with understanding the person and the business in front of her. It’s why so many of her relationships last for years. 

As a Partner & Producer at The Afekt Co., Brandei still spends much of her time doing what she loves most — working directly with clients — while also helping lead the day-to-day business and shape how Afekt takes care of the people it serves. 

For Brandei, benefits have never just been about plans, rates or renewals. They’re about helping employers take care of the ones who make their businesses run. Because at the end of the day, that’s not separate from the business — it is the business. 

Outside the office, Brandei is still the same relationship-builder — a devoted dog lover who rarely meets a stranger and always leaves people smiling.
