Amy Calandrino ’07, CEO of Beyond Commercial and a graduate of Rollins’ Professional Advancement programs, was named to the Orlando Business Journal’s 2023 list of the city’s top leaders under 40.
Amy Calandrino ’07 was one of three Rollins alumni named to the Orlando Business Journal’s 2023 40 Under 40, an annual list of Central Florida’s most vibrant young leaders.
Calandrino, who earned her English degree through Rollins’ Professional Advancement programs, is now CEO of Beyond Commercial, one of the largest woman-owned commercial real estate companies in Central Florida. A fierce, results-driven dealmaker, Calandrino leads a team of commercial real estate experts in serving business owners and investors across all asset classes in a range of industries.
She also actively looks for ways to share her experience and expertise with other entrepreneurs. Calandrino recently launched her own podcast, The Performance Mindset, where she interviews successful business leaders, sharing trends and trade secrets with her listeners.
“Within the walls of Orlando Hall and Sullivan House at Rollins, I found my voice while pursuing an English degree and writing minor,” she says. “The close-knit environment provided more than just knowledge—it nurtured confidence, allowing me to blossom into the person I am today. Rollins helped me fearlessly pursue my dreams and gave me the courage to embrace every opportunity that comes my way.”
