Amber Wilson 

Communications Leader | Fostering Impactful Digital Presence through Strategy Development, Brand & Project Management 

A Bit About Me

When I'm not formulating killer creative communications or implementing strategy development with my team, you'll likely find me in a headstand on my standup paddleboard, asking strangers to pet their dog, setting up camp before my hike, with my nose buried in a book or on a noble quest to find the best tacos and margarita in Sydney.

​

Hailing from Denver, CO, I'm a mountain gal who has travelled pretty far, from London to Seoul, Hanoi to Sydney and so many stunning beaches, mountains, forests and plains in between. Now an Australian citizen, I count myself lucky to have landed in Bondi for good.

Possesses a proven track record of stakeholder management, elevating brand visibility and driving successful cross-functional team collaboration.
