Amanda Wicks Ford
Digital Communications Program Manager
Digital Communications
My professional career spans over a decade across the fields of nonprofit, education, television, and technology. I've given lectures at Vanderbilt on Hip-Hop, managed teams of young adults in various long-term community service efforts, and I am a reproductive health advocate. I also spend more time listening to podcasts than I probably should. All-in-all, I bring a uniquely well-rounded perspective to everything I do.
I joined Cisco in 2023 as a Digital Communications Program Manager on the Global Communications team. My primary role involves strategizing and project managing the content featured on Cisco’s Newsroom and main social channels.
Outside of work, I am a visual artist, entrepreneur, content creator, childbirth educator, wife, and mother of two. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, but currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia.
