Amy Thelen

As VP of Bitwise Bakersfield, Amy is in charge of shaping the Bitwise ecosystem to fit Bakersfield’s personality. She oversees the Bitwise Bakersfield campus, managing multiple projects while ensuring we’re creating a space that is diverse, inclusive, and progressive. Amy helps cultivate relationships between Bitwise and the people of Kern County. This includes nonprofits, educational institutions, residents, private partnerships and all other public entities.

Amy helps ensure all lines of business are working together to best benefit the company and the community. She also has a confession: “My dream job would be as the starting forward for the Women’s National Soccer team,” says Amy. “But since that train has passed, I figure the next best thing would be to create possibilities for people here at home.” Today, Amy resides in Bakersfield with her wife, Michelle, and their twins. She holds a Master of Public Administration from San Diego State University.
