For twenty years, Amanda worked as Chief of Staff inside some of the world’s biggest companies, sitting alongside C-level technology leaders at Fortune 500 organizations. It was the kind of role that teaches you a little bit of everything. Amanda became a jill of many trades, moving fluidly between strategy, operations, and the countless behind-the-scenes tasks that keep a leadership team running.

Somewhere in those twenty years, one thing became clear. When a C-level leader nails their communication, it changes everything. It shapes how stakeholders trust them, how teams rally behind a decision, how an organization moves through change. Amanda had a front-row seat to just how high the stakes are, and she developed a real talent for helping leaders get it right.

A new chapter pushes her to build her own firm. Amanda stepped away from corporate, and rather than moving straight into another Chief of Staff role, she asked herself a different question: what if she built something around the work that mattered most?

That question became Keane Communications.

Amanda launched the firm around a clear specialty: executive communications for C-level leaders. No longer stretched across a dozen responsibilities, she could go deep on the work that made the biggest difference, helping executives sharpen their message, navigate sensitive announcements, and lead with clarity when it mattered most.

The results came fast. In just six months, Keane Communications has generated nearly $300,000 in revenue. Her client roster spans a range of moments where communication makes or breaks the outcome. A nonprofit working through a major organizational transition. A growing mid-scale services company blending several cultures after an acquisition. Mid to large-scale corporate organizations, private and public, building out their team’s presence and communications approach to sharpen visibility and credibility. Different industries, different challenges, same underlying need: leaders who can communicate with clarity when it counts.

What makes Amanda’s story stand out isn’t just the speed of her success. It’s the clarity behind it. Two decades of sitting in the room with senior leaders showed her exactly what’s at stake when executive communication goes right, or wrong. Building Keane Communications gave her the chance to put that insight to work for leaders who need it most.

Amanda’s path is a reminder that a career pivot doesn’t have to mean starting over. Sometimes it means finally focusing on the work you were already built for.
