Amantha’s consultancy Inventium has been recognised as one of Australia’s fastest growing companies in the BRW Fast 100 list, and was also awarded the BRW Client Choice Award for Best Management Consultancy in Australia.
In 2016, Amantha was inducted into the Australian Business Women’s Hall of Fame. And in 2018, Inventium earned a place on BCorp’s Best for the World list, that recognises companies for their outstanding positive impact.
With a PhD in organisational psychology, Amantha has helped companies such as Google, Apple, Coca-Cola, Disney, LEGO, American Express, Virgin, Deloitte and many others innovate more successfully.

In a previous life, Amantha had an international record deal for her debut album Like Samantha without the S, prays to the God of Lin-Manuel Miranda, and claims to have once been freakishly good at table tennis.
