Amanda Hall is a professional geophysicist and the CEO/Founder of Summit Nanotech, a company that developed direct lithium extraction technology for the growing lithium ion battery sector.

She is on the Advisory Board for Canadian Energy & Climate Nexus (CECN), on the Board of the Chilean Clean Technology Institute, is a mentor for Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) and is on the Board of Directors for Calgary Opera.
