Amanda Perkins leads Skeleton Key’s Technology Practice, guiding nonprofits’ technology decision making from strategy and roadmapping through vendor selection and implementation, with emphasis on the organizational readiness and change management essential to sustainable adoption. Amanda is a business analyst and Salesforce consultant with 13 years of experience helping organizations get more out of their technology and reclaim time for the work that actually matters. For the past three years, she has focused exclusively on the nonprofit sector, partnering with some of the world’s largest mission-driven organizations to improve the systems and processes that power their operations.
At the heart of Amanda’s work is a belief that nonprofits shouldn’t have to wrestle with their tools. She specializes in translating between worlds: turning complex technical requirements into language that resonates with leadership, and shaping business needs into clear, actionable direction for technical teams. That ability to speak both languages fluently is what allows her clients to move faster and make better decisions.
Amanda has worked directly with steering committees and senior leadership teams, bringing both the strategic perspective and the hands-on expertise to guide meaningful technology change. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Queen’s University, and brings a practitioner’s instinct for where process and technology intersect.
Based in Lisbon, Portugal, Amanda is as likely to be found on a padel court as in a strategy session, and yes, a Taylor Swift reference may make an appearance in either setting.
