Navigate the critical moments of scaling

Startup

Starting to grow

Things work now, but you know they won't at 50 people. You're answering the same questions over and over. Decisions live in your head. New hires aren’t ramping up as fast as you need them to.

Scale-up

In the thick of it

You added people but somehow slowed down. Leaders are overwhelmed. Teams are misaligned. Decisions take forever. Quality is slipping, and your best people are starting to leave.

Reorg

After a big change

New strategy. Leadership shifts. The culture feels different and not in a good way. Teams aren't collaborating like they used to. Your managers need support they're not getting.

I help you navigate these moments through leadership development, team workshops, and strategic advising—backed by real-world experience from someone who's been there.

Hi, I'm Amber.

I'm a coach, facilitator, and strategic advisor who helps leaders and their teams strengthen how they lead and work together as they grow.

I spent eight years at the award-winning agency Metalab as it scaled from 30-150 people. I led from the front lines, built departments and teams, and navigated the messy, exciting ups and downs that come with growth. Most recently, I led performance at the fully remote SaaS company Float.

My approach is calm, human, and practical. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and focus on what moves your business forward. I know what works at your stage because I've been there—navigating the People side of growth alongside founders building companies that matter.
