About Amy
I am a woman of color. I am a mother of 2 girls. I am a wife. I am an immigrant. I was a senior leader in prominent tech companies, and I am now a business owner. These distinct identities all contribute to who I am, what I value, and how I show up as a coach and human. I am proud of my accomplishments working for big-name tech companies (TikTok, Google, Cisco, Intel), and steadily advancing as a marketing leader. I am grateful for all the knowledge, experiences, and connections I have gained at each company, team, and role. They have all brought me closer to understanding what's truly important to ME. From my years navigating from an individual contributor to a first line manager, then to a senior leader, I've discovered that my greatest fulfillment comes from helping my peers, leaders, reports, and mentees Dream. Plan. Do. Live! Follow me on LinkedIn to learn more about me and see my reflections on career growth, leadership, and making intentional career moves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amychou/
