About Amber
WashU undergrad. Kellogg MBA. BCG alum. Former VP of Strategy & Transformation. I’ve spent 20+ years navigating and thriving in corporate America—leading MBA recruiting for Kellogg at BCG, heading Kellogg’s Women’s Business Association, and driving growth strategies at the executive level. I coach ambitious professionals to accelerate their careers, sharpen leadership presence, and navigate pivotal transitions with clarity and confidence.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know firsthand how the right guidance can change the trajectory of a career. Throughout my journey—from WashU to Kellogg, BCG, and the executive suite—I’ve benefited from mentors who helped me navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and lead with authenticity. Coaching lets me pay that forward, helping others gain the clarity, confidence, and strategies they need to thrive.
