Meet Our Team

Collectively we have close to 50 years of experience working with technology. We are dedicated to making our client's lives easier with our solutions. We have worked with a variety of organizations from nonprofits, fashion bloggers, construction companies, and more.

Amber Manning, Founder & CEO

I founded AmberCo. when I was five years old. Over the years, it has offered a variety of services from house cleaning, babysitting, car washing, travel planning, interior design and more. After college, I serendipitously fell into working for a  web development company and I never looked back. I am happy that AmberCo. has finally settled on a mission that helps people in a meaningful way. I am also happy that some of the original services AmberCo. offered (cleaning and organizing) have carried through into its current iteration. I have been lucky enough to work for significant nonprofits such as the Sierra Club and the International Committee of the Red Cross and small local companies such as Hinkel Equipment Rental and Indars Stairs. My favorite part of working in technology is finding creative solutions for people and making their day to day work easier.  

Susanne Gibbs, Sales Director

I was born and raised in Massachusetts and am a lover of travel. My husband and I have traveled to many parts of the world and love the experiences we’ve had at each and every destination.    

My degree experience in Business Marketing, Management Information Systems, and a Masters in Education and Instructructional Technology, along with diverse experience in hospitality management, travel and tourism sales, retail management, and adult and elementary education allows me to bring a unique mix of experiences to AmberCo. 

Having had my own retail business for years, I understand the importance of harnessing a positive website, social media, and mobile presence. After all, it is your opportunity for first impressions and the window to your business. As a member of the AmberCo team, I look forward to leading our new clients to show off their business in the best way possible.

Amanda Shanks, Director of Operations

I came to AmberCo. as a professional from the non-profit sector with experience in client support, management, design, and social media. I pride myself on my attention to detail and helping to make the tools I offer my clients as user friendly as possible. I believe that technology and its utilization can serve as an excellent connecting bridge between a company’s mission and it’s outreach to organizations in all respective communities. I am also a certified financial counselor with a focus in helping individuals out of debt and into financial security. A role which echoes my commitment to always striking a balance in all things I do between economic growth and socially conscious viability.
