About Amanda Justice "Aj"
My journey in technology began at Trilogy Software in Austin, Texas, where I served in various roles, including Oracle Performance Engineer, Frontline Support Manager, and Director of the Post Deployment Group. After Trilogy, my focus was to increase my breadth of the entire technology spectrum, I spent 6 years in systems integration learning how to implement complex solutions at Ciber and Capgemini and then went to EMC where I was focused on advancing my skills in cloud architecture and converged infrastructure solutions. In 2012, I joined CyrusOne which is one of the largest and most respected datacenter companies in the world. I championed the efforts to pass a life changing tax legislation bill Texas House Bill 83 (R) 1223 that has transformed enterprise corporate growth in the state of Texas for decades. I led economic development and data center site selections in Austin and San Antonio. In 2013, along with some of the brightest minds in the datacenter industry we took CyrusOne public fulfilling a lifelong dream of mine. Following my stint at CyrusOne, I shifted my focus to the non-profit sector. I had this overwhelming desire to take my blessings and give back to our community. I joined Seton Healthcare in Austin, Texas which is the largest nonprofit in the city donating over a billion dollars annually to the poor. During my two-year tenure, I played a pivotal role in developing Seton's long-term information technology strategy and led many of the transformative technology selections for the Dell Seton Medical Center which is the first Tier 1 research institutions in the US. After Seton, I found my true calling, energy and utility transformation. For the past eight years, I have been wholeheartedly dedicated to advancing technology in the energy sector and driving transformation with our power grid working at LCRA and ERCOT. Today, I lead a team of world class Enterprise Architects supporting our largest accounts in the western United States. Beyond the boardroom, my husband and I are adventurers at heart, we are presently touring the United States in our class A motorhome and plan to see all 50 states of our beautiful country. This love for exploration reflects my curiosity and passion for embracing new challenges, whether in technology or the great outdoors!
