Bio
A born and raised Albertan and devout business builder, Amanda brings a fervent commitment to innovation and results-driven decisions to the companies she's founded, and those she serves. Upon graduating from the University of Calgary's Executive MBA program in 2014, following a 15-year career in the technology start-up space, Amanda co-founded CRU Juice. Growing it from modest seed capital start-up to a thriving retail enterprise, CRU's assets included a manufacturing facility and eight corporately owned locations across Western Canada, alongside e-commerce and wholesale channels, before it was acquired in 2016. From there, she oversaw construction of the first phase of a 70-acre high tech greenhouse project in Acme, Alberta as President, Sunterra Farms Greenhouse (Sunterra Group of Companies). Following construction, Amanda guided the company through two full crop cycles producing more than 6M kgs of tomatoes per year with 70 FTEs. Today, Amanda finds herself in her most rewarding role yet as President of Kathairos Solutions – a clean technology company that has quickly established itself as a global leader in methane emissions elimination and carbon offset big data.
