As a Talent Manager for an online fitness platform, I had a lot of questions about talent compensation and equity that was near impossible to find any information on. A friend of mine put me in contact with Amy, who was more than happy to chat with me about these subjects. The conversation I had with Amy was a total game changer for me and the team I work with. Her years of experience and her wealth of knowledge is incredible, but what really impressed me was her kindness and her desire to help out. On our call she didn't once make me feel like I was imposing, or wasting her time, she was very patient with me, she answered all the questions I had and MORE in a way that was easy to understand, and she even followed up after our call to see how things were going. Amy is a total class act who cares immensely about the work she does and the people around her. I am forever grateful for her kindness and guidance.

For a business where the lifeblood of growth is content and media, Amy Richards is the heart that keeps the whole company growing. She is a structured, focused, and trust-building producer who not only builds long-term systems for growth, but also attracts, supports, and nurtures amazing team members in the process. She invests with her heart and passion into businesses she cares about, and brings her tremendous skills to the task of making that company's vision possible. In my opinion, there is no one more qualified or capable to lead a company in the content and media industry than Amy Richards.
