Thot Leader Labs

Amanda Nielsen started her career in tech as an aspiring thought-leader. At the ripe age 20-something, she is now jaded and considers herself a thot leader instead. Thot Leader is a catch-all term for the diverse community of professional disruptors she calls her friends. Thot Leadership is her authentic and unapologetic take on life as a gen Z memestress, professional ✨girlboss✨, and certified baddie navigating the professional world. Also, if you haven't figured it out by now, "thot leader" is a play on "thought-leader" — you know, what those guys on LinkedIn who make posts with all the emojis and line breaks call themselves. But more importantly, the name represents a reclamation of a derogatory phrase used against Amanda at her first corporate job and is an homage to the first of her many formative experiences as a young woman in tech.
