Amanda Rose is the Founder and CEO of Timecounts, a modern volunteer management platform for nonprofits, festivals, and organizers. She is also the Founder of Collective Good Studios, a nonprofit reimagining how technology empowers social benefit organizations.

An experienced leader of building movements and communities, Amanda has lived around the world, drawing on her diverse experiences to shape her approach. She gained international recognition as the creator of Twestival, an initiative that mobilized Twitter users to meet offline for a cause. Launched in 2008, it united volunteers across 250+ cities, raising over $1.84 million for 300+ nonprofits through digital media and local action.

Throughout her career, Amanda has blended her entrepreneurial spirit with a deep passion for organizing. She co-founded Space2, a film and event locations company, which hosted everything from London Fashion Week to productions for major film studios and world leaders. She’s also led global campaigns like Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day and advised brands such as Oceana, MTV Staying Alive Foundation, and Red Nose Day.

Amanda has always understood the power of technology to drive social change, which she explored in her Master’s dissertation on Twitter’s role as the 'digital public square.'

Now back in Canada, Amanda is developing her next project.
