Fox said: “Amanda has an extraordinary breadth of research and experience from her background in academia, education and the corporate world. She’s so passionate about the power of learning and development, and exactly the kind of reassuring, inspiring voice that will help us all identify our learning, personal and career goals, and how to achieve them.”
