Amanda designed & created the world’s first fully accredited program in Influencer Marketing (originally at UCLA & University of Texas at Austin). She is now directing and leading the advancement of the program along with Mohan Sawhney, Associate Dean of Kellogg and Director of the Center of Research and Technology at The Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern (still top ranked in the world for marketing!)

Amanda’s marketing and digital production firm was acquired (in 2018) by Valeo Technologies, a 30+ year old legacy fitness and security brand headquartered in New York. As part of a two year exit, Amanda took the helm of CMO to direct the global re-brand and re-launch strategy as the first female Chief Marketing Officer.

Amanda advises companies and leaders across all industries on how to create, scale and nurture their influence. From entire marketing strategy planning to specific influencer marketing campaign initiatives, Amanda cuts through the noise and confusion, and helps you clarify exactly what you want to achieve and develop and execute the plan to breed those results.

Lamborghini: Amanda sits on the advisory board for Lamborghini Automobil, one of a handful on women selected internationally from among the most influential and representative individuals in business and culture. Established in 2018, it is a board that enjoys a unique view of the world and which Lamborghini wanted to put together in order to benefit from important external contributions in its path as a pioneering brand.

Amanda is holds a board seat spearheading marketing and influencer strategies for both the Andy Roddick Foundation and The Robins School of Business at the prestigious University of Richmond.

There are few people in the world that can explain true influencer marketing in the way that Amanda can. Not only has she done it herself (and written the book), she has made it her life's work to take what she's learned to teach it to others. From the top ranked MBA students in the world, to executive around the globe, to start up entrepreneurs trying to navigate the muddled waters, Amanda has a program that has gone to the very top in both academia and executive practice.

Her unique 'superpower' is to use story and example to convey complex topics and give you an action plan that both inspires, motivates and leaves you walking away with a whole new way of thinking, and armed with a 'know how' to execute!

And she's got one hell of an unconventional and unique background that could serve as the ultimate motivational keynote.
