Background

About Amanda Whittington

Hey there! I'm Amanda, a proud Texan who values genuine connections and lasting relationships, both personally and professionally. With 14 years of experience, I've become skilled in scaling cross-functional teams, bringing order to chaos, and providing clarity in ambiguous situations. In my career, I've worn many hats, from managing multi-million dollar budgets to orchestrating global events, streamlining marketing operations, and conducting detailed operational and financial analysis. My passion lies in operational excellence—I enjoy visually tying everything together to make day-to-day work more efficient and enjoyable for cross-functional teams. Outside of work, I'm deeply committed to serving underserved communities, particularly children and youth. I find fulfillment in helping others discover and achieve their goals. Traveling internationally is a huge part of my life, allowing me to immerse myself in diverse cultures. You might often find me playing the role of the "iphonographer," capturing moments with my camera or polaroid. I'm an avid music explorer, love thrifting, and have a soft spot for fashion and the great outdoors, especially amidst the trees. My favorite brand is NIKE & Jordan and that is a big of my personal brand expression, affectionately known as “sneaker auntie”. Let's connect and explore exciting possibilities together! Whether it's discussing business opportunities or sharing travel stories, I'm always eager to connect with like-minded individuals.
