Stone Cobra CEO, Amanda Roberts, just earned the distinct recognition of a KCS Innovator’s Award from the Consortium for Service Innovation.

Amanda Roberts (2009) - Amanda has helped to further the work of the Consortium from both an innovative and operational perspective. Her holistic approach to life and problems aligns closely with the purpose and values of the Consortium. She is truly a deep thinker. Amanda participates in many of our program team meetings and often sits very quietly appearing not to be paying attention and then she will make a comment or come up with an idea that blows team members away. The best part is that her innovative ideas are very pragmatic.

Amanda and her team at Stone Cobra have developed online tools for the members to use–the KCS Maturity Survey, the Content Explosion Tag Cloud Tool and they also built the first KCS Online User Community. Amanda keeps us up to date on the leading edge technologies. If asked about a buzz in the industry, she will not only know what it is but will have researched, used it, and can provide very meaningful feedback. When Open Source Technologies were all the rage several years back, Amanda put together a presentation to help us understand the pros and cons of Open Source.
