I met Amanda Spencer in a previous company, Riverbed. It was great to catch up and discuss her journey into leadership.
Throughout her career journey, Amanda has learned that if you want something, you've got to go and get it, and that the best leaders are the ones who don't sit and wait for things to happen, but go and make them happen.
