Much like her sporting endeavours - in her work, she understands what it means to take a risk in service of a more compelling future and supporting others to take the leap even when they don’t know how they’ll get there.As CEO of In Your Corner, Amanda leads the team to deliver exceptional results for our clients, in addition to providing:1.
