“Amanda and I worked together for over 3 years at Current TV, where she successfully led a huge team and several key initiatives (including the relaunch of current.com). She's got a true knack for slicing through a tough problem and coming up with actionable solutions. Amanda's also done wonders in the community and social arenas at both Current and Blurb. She's a social native with the magical ability to make a community thrive. Add in her analytical bent and creative talents and you've got a force to be reckoned with!”
