into bold leaders.
A leadership advisory and coaching firm for consumer goods and retail, built by people who've run the P&L.
We build your best operators
She was a CPG leader before she was a coach.
Amber ran nine-figure P&Ls at Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Johnson & Johnson, and The Wonderful Company. She sold into Amazon, Walmart, and Target. She led eCommerce at FIJI Water.
Which means she has sat in the seat your leaders are sitting in — matrixed accountability, cross-functional friction, restructuring, scope that expands faster than anyone's runway. The organizational dynamics that create the leadership gaps you're seeing aren't theory to her. They're a résumé.
MBA from UCLA Anderson. BS from Carnegie Mellon. Based in Pittsburgh, working with leaders across North America.
Our work centers on consumer goods and retail. The same gap shows up wherever the customer is the point — we work with travel, hospitality, and consumer services teams too.
She was told to keep delivering.
High performance turned out to be an incomplete instruction manual.
Amber spent years doing what high performers are told to do — deliver results, keep your head down, wait your turn. It got her a long way and then it stopped working, and nobody could tell her why.
What she eventually unlearned was the exhausting work of performing a version of herself she thought the room required. No more code-switching, no more shrinking, and no more asking how high when somebody said “jump!”
What replaced it was more useful and a lot more effective — focusing her and her team's results on company outcomes, and building the relationships and the reputation that actually open doors.
That's the work. Not confidence for its own sake. The specific, learnable skills nobody teaches you after they hand you the promotion.
Catch Amber on Stage.
Amber speaks at consumer goods, retail, travel and hospitality conferences on the operator-to-leader gap and what actually moves careers past the middle.
Recent stages include eTail Boston, Women in Retail, and Women Leading Travel.
Hype & Harvest is a firm, not a solo practice. Every coach in the H&H Coach Collective is credentialed, trained on our method, and delivers the same diagnostic, the same sponsor alignment, and the same measurement.
They're also trained on context — the matrixed accountability, constant reorganization, and cross-functional friction that define how consumer goods and retail companies actually run. Our coaches learn to recognize those patterns, so your leader never has to spend a session explaining how their company works.
That's a trained capability, not a hiring filter. It's how we keep the bar consistent as we grow.
Coaching in consumer goods or retail?
We're building the Collective and we're selective about it. If you're credentialed, experienced, and interested in delivering the H&H method, tell us about yourself.
Amber set the standard.
The Collective delivers it.
Results, Relationships, Reputation.
Everything we build runs on these three.
Most people are only working the first one — and wondering why it isn't enough.
