Amy is the Chief of Staff at Functionly and the host of the Org Design Podcast.

She brings systems thinking to life within Functionly and across our content from her past experience in a fast growing Australian HealthTech company, a big four Management Consulting firm, and a global Mining company. 

Her background is in Botany, while a surprising beginning for an org designer/tech girl/ operations guru, it gave Amy an understanding of complex, interconnected systems that help her grapple with the hard questions inside organizations.
