Amanda thrives at the intersection of improvisation and organizational psychology to help transform organizations. She believes the vulnerability required to improvise and create something together on stage as a team can be translated to a professional group of any size. She uses the philosophy of improvisation and the power of "Yes, And" as a catalyst for positive change within an organization. Her active listening approach to coaching focuses on teaching individuals and teams the difference between listening to respond and listening to understand.

Amanda was the Founder/CEO of Dallas Comedy House (2009-2020), where she oversaw day to day operations of DCH. She was the founder and Executive Producer of the Dallas Comedy Festival (2009-2019). She's the Co-founder of ComedyHouse, a professional training and coaching service, and the co-author of the REALway® leadership training program. She's currently a Senior Managing Consultant-HR Strategic Business Partner at IBM Consulting.

Amanda received her Bachelor of Science in Journalism and a Minor in Business Administration from Texas A&M University.

I had an unusual start at university — my first year was in Medicine. Soon I discovered my path was elsewhere, and I pivoted into Industrial Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. That early change shaped how I approach challenges today: with curiosity, adaptability, and a strong analytical mindset.

After graduating, I stepped straight into the world of ERP, working with Microsoft Dynamics AX (2009, 2012) and evolving alongside the ecosystem into what is now Dynamics 365. From the beginning, I was fortunate to go beyond pure ERP implementation — combining functional and technical work with Business Intelligence, systems architecture, and later, data and AI-driven solutions.

Today, I lead the technical department at a Microsoft partner consultancy, where I’m responsible for architecture, development standards, and innovation across projects involving Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Power Platform, Azure, and AI. My role sits at the intersection of technology, people, and strategy: designing scalable solutions while helping teams grow technically and professionally.

One of the most meaningful parts of my job is mentoring. I was lucky to have people who invested in my growth early in my career, and now I strive to do the same for others. Watching a colleague take their first independent “step” — solving a problem, leading a feature, making a design decision — is one of the most rewarding moments in my day-to-day work.

Beyond delivery, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge through talks, technical content, and community initiatives, especially around applied AI in business applications. I strongly believe that technology creates real impact only when it empowers people — both users and the professionals building the solutions.

With nearly 30 years of experience in the technology sector, I specialize in transforming complex business challenges into scalable, high-impact technical solutions.
