Amanda is the CEO of Code for America (CfA), a non-profit, social impact organization that helped launch the civic tech ecosystem. Today, CfA partners with governments and community-based organizations leveraging technology to create ‘a government by the people, for the people in the digital age’.

Most recently, CfA was recognized for their mobile-first tax credit portal to combat child poverty in partnership with the White House and was selected for an Audacious Project and investment of $100 million to improve state safety net systems that would unlock benefits for 13 million people across the country. In addition to leading Code for America, Amanda is a paid contributor to the BBC and ABC News on policy and political matters in the United States and serves on several non-profit boards, including the President’s Commission on Hispanic Affairs and the Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial Equity (TACRE).
