About Amanda
Amanda Lannert is the CEO of software company Jellyvision, the maker of interactive benefits communication software ALEX, used by over 1,500 companies to help their employees select a healthcare insurance plan, save for retirement, and make other complex decisions.
She spearheaded Jellyvision’s pivot from a services agency to a profitable software-as-a-service company, growing its employee count from 100 to 400 in only five years. In the last three years, Jellyvision’s customer count has increased by 250%.
Amanda has garnered countless awards, including CEO of the Year at the Moxie Awards in 2014 and 2015, Woman in Tech in 2016, Woman of the Year for the Chicago Rotary Club of 2018, and many others.
She hails from Virginia, attended Haverford College in Pennsylvania and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, none of which explains why she sounds like she was born and raised in the Midwest. Or why she named her cat Dog. Amanda climbed Mts. Rainier, Salcantay, and Kilimanjaro and most importantly, enjoys a good cupcake.
