She previously worked at the Gesher Leadership Institute, aiming to strengthen dialogue and relationships among emerging leaders in Israel and with their peers across the world.

Amy is playing a role in leadership succession at the foundation and serves as Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees and chairs the Impact Committee.
