Organizational success depends on leadership clarity and decision quality. We're your strategic partner for the moments that matter most.
​
​
Build the Leadership Core Your Strategy Requires
Align incentives, roles, and behaviors across the top team. Coach critical leaders, resolve conflicts early, and harden accountability without drama.
Stick the Landing on Your Transformation
Turn million-dollar bets into predictable wins. We help you see what others miss, sequence for success, and keep everyone moving toward the same finish line.
Cut Through the AI Hype
95% of AI initiatives fail. We help you focus on the few bets that matter - smart governance, real use cases, no wasted millions, faster time to value.

Replace meeting sprawl with a simple decision system: clear owners, bounded choices, and weekly throughput reviews. Strategy turns into executed work—every week.
You're in the Right Place if...
-
You're organization is in Flux - New leadership/strategy, board or PE mandate, activist pressure, or budget shock; you need roles and rhythm fast.
-
You're facing a defining transformation in the next 3–12 months. (Strategic plan, major system, reorg, platform/AI rollout, vendor change, M&A) - and want an experienced partner to help bring clarity, de-risk and sequence it.
-
You're a fast-brain/ADHD-style leader with 15 #1 Priorities - Brilliant, overcommitted, constant context-switching, and need a simple operating rhythm.
-
On the ascent or new in role (first 180 days). You want to go from a seat at the table to a voice at the table: sharpen value, frame trade-offs, and turn updates into decisions.
-
Stuck in the weeds despite your title. You're solving problems your team should handle while big-picture strategy sits on the back burner.

A Strategic Leadership Partner Who Has Been In Your Shoes
I created CxO Amplify after more than a decade as a Senior Executive Partner at Gartner, where I had the privilege of advising hundreds of C-level leaders. Before that, I was a CIO myself — navigating the same pressures, competing priorities, and relentless pace that today’s executives face.
I know how isolating and lonely it can feel at the top. You’re expected to have the answers, yet the challenges are often messy, political, and without a clear playbook. I’ve sat in your chair, and I understand the weight of those decisions.
What I bring is not theory, but hard-won perspective. I help leaders cut through complexity, frame choices in business terms, and move conversations to a more strategic level. My role isn’t to hand you generic advice — it’s to listen, challenge assumptions, and provide clarity so you can lead with confidence.
That’s why I built CxO Amplify: to give leaders the kind of trusted partnership I wish I’d had — one that helps you cut through the noise, focus on what matters most, and deliver results with confidence.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
When we meet, I’ll treat you as if you’re already a client - diving straight into your priorities and challenges. My aim is for you to walk away with fresh insight, practical tools or frameworks, and the sense that the conversation was worth your time - and worth continuing.
CxO Amplify is a decision support service to supplement your existing advisory service. We do not compete with syndicated research or technology advisory firms. We strongly encourage all clients to maintain access to their existing advisory services. Our role is to complement, clarify, and guide executives through decision complexity - especially when people have multiple advisory services at the same time. We are the missing link between market research and strategic execution.
