About Amy

I am a…

Business leader, Concerned citizen, Idea generator, Life mentor, Parent, Technologist, World traveler

Bio

I lead a global team of developers, designers, product managers, and enabling roles. We build enterprise cloud applications for people management (recruiting, rewards, goals, etc.). I've been in the HR Technology space for more than 20 years in a variety of leadership roles. I love this space because it is a combination of technology, psychology, and business. As a leader, I am able to set a tone of collaboration and inclusiveness - both of which are very important to me. I have a 14 year old son and my husband has been a stay-at-home dad for the duration. He's a great cook and I am very lucky. Prior to SAP, Amy led product for Workday’s HCM solutions. Amy was also previously Vice President and Principal Analyst of People Management Technologies at Constellation Research Group. Prior to that, Amy led the team responsible for the Oracle HCM Cloud talent applications. Amy serves on the Board of Directors for Eden Information & Resources, a non-profit that serves the most vulnerable of Alameda County seeking health, housing, and human services. Amy also serves as Managing Director at Golden Seeds, Silicon Valley, an investment firm that pursues gender-diversity and financial results by investing in early-stage women-led companies. Amy earned her bachelor’s degree in economics from Cornell University with concentrations in mathematics, computer science and psychology.

I'm passionate about

Supporting women in 3 ways: - As a tech leader and mentor - As an angel investor of female entrepreneurs - As board member of a non-profit that supports the most vulnerable in our community.

The TED story

I gave a 3 minute TEDTalk in the desert 9 years ago. It was about how I met my husband and it was a thrill!
