Amanda Schnieders is a marketing and communications leader with a journalism background and a marketer’s instinct for what moves people to act. As Director of Content & Communications at Chronus, she championed research-driven storytelling to show how human connection transforms employee productivity, advancement, and growth, elevating the employee experience from the inside out. Today, she brings that same full-funnel thinking to her role as Digital Marketing Manager at D-Wave, where she drives demand generation and digital strategy at the frontier of quantum computing.

Before joining Chronus, Amanda spent more than four years at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, where she developed content, built audiences, and created educational programming for entrepreneurs across the country. That experience gave her a firsthand view of the workplace dynamics that matter most — mentoring, development, inclusion, and support — and shaped the conviction she carried into her nearly decade-long tenure at Chronus: that organizations work better when their people are seen, connected, and given real pathways to grow.

A journalist by training and a marketer by practice, Amanda has built and led content teams, shaped executive communications, and driven organic growth through SEO strategy, brand positioning, and thought leadership. She is energized by the challenge of turning complexity into clarity and believes that the best content doesn’t just tell a story — it changes how people think about what’s possible.
