Los Angeles

Amanda Wang Valentine helps motivate and shift change at scale. She began her career in venture capital, sell-side research, and investment banking; later moving to business development and operations, and always focused on the technology & media sectors. After 19 years, she realized that her interests lay in launching and growing cutting-edge digital health technologies. She observed a need to help people shift from a "should be" mindset to a how it "could be" when it comes to adopting new technologies. She steeped herself in behavioral science and psychology, and combining them with her background in finance and business development, she learned how to motivate groups and grow innovative solutions and approaches. Today she works on changing government culture to be more customer-focused and she is the co-founder of MotiSpark, a digital health startup platform that builds personalized interactive videos to motivate healthier behavior.
