  • Executive Vice President and Co-founder

    We lost our colleague and friend Amanda in July 2021. Amanda was an incredibly creative and hardworking team member, a gifted storyteller, a wonderful mother and a beloved girlfriend, sister, daughter, and friend to many. She loved dogs, wine, working with our amazing clients, reliably getting the weirdest seatmate on the plane, and admiring regional taxidermy. Starling Advisors and all of our clients who had the pleasure of working with Amanda are better for it. We miss her terribly.
