The founder who scaled from a food van to 40+ stores — then rebuilt her identity, leadership and life from the ground up.
Amanda Leigh Walker is a founder, business strategist, and transformational coach who understands the complexities of building a business from the ground up—and the personal cost when a company no longer aligns with its founder’s evolution.
As the co-founder of Lord of the Fries, Amanda scaled a purpose-driven family business from a single Melbourne food van into a pioneering vegan fast-food franchise with over 40 locations across Australia and New Zealand. Built on a mission to make ethical, plant-based food accessible, the brand became a powerful example of how purpose, values, and operational discipline can create a market-leading movement. Her journey spans two decades of expertise in entrepreneurship, franchising, brand building, operations, and leadership.
After exiting the business in 2024, Amanda turned her experience into a body of work dedicated to founders and leaders. Today, she works at the intersection of business strategy and personal transformation. Through her signature "Soul → Self → Systems → Scale" framework and her brand, Where Soul Meets Scale, she helps leaders build companies that are profitable, scalable, and personally aligned.
A Master Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Human Design Analyst, Amanda brings a rare depth to the stage. She is the founder of Quantum Women’s Business, creator of The Founders Table, and co-founder of Power Woman. Amanda speaks with the unique insight of someone who has built, led, scaled, and exited an empire, teaching audiences that sustainable success is never just about strategy—it is about identity, emotional mastery, and energetic alignment.
