Amanda brings grassroots experience in social enterprise, public health policy and corporate social innovation to Volans.

Her projects have brought her from the steps of the White House to classrooms and conferences across Europe, Africa and East Asia, collaborating internationally on public health and education policy.

Recent work before joining Volans focused on developing impact evaluation capabilities for social enterprise, and consulting on corporate citizenship strategy for Tata Steel Global Wires in Mumbai, India, launching their first social enterprise to manufacture low-cost spectacles from steel wire.
