Amy is a two-time founder and technical executive who has spent the last 15+ years building and scaling product organizations.
As the CTO and technical founder of Meta, an early artificial intelligence company acquired by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, she operated at the intersection of frontier technology and real-world execution. Following the acquisition, she joined CZI as Technical Director when the organization was fewer than 20 people and served as it grew to over 500, gaining firsthand exposure to the operational playbooks that underpin durable, global growth.
Amy is passionate about helping the next generation of founders avoid preventable mistakes. Drawing from her own experience building, scaling, and course-correcting in high-stakes environments, she works alongside founders to ensure their ambition is matched by focus, discipline, and durable execution. Scale is earned through clarity, and clarity can be built.

Off the clock, Amy shifts from scaling companies to scaling dinner plans. Her home is a rotating hub of conversation, cooking experiments, and whoever happens to be hungry that evening.
She’s raising two adventurous humans (7 and 9) and spends most weekends exploring, building, or answering extremely complex questions about the universe.
When she isn’t reading, Amy is writing a sci-fi novel. There is a non-zero chance it’s terrible but she firmly believes creativity requires the willingness to be bad before you’re good.
