Amy is a founding and managing partner of Stanton Advisors. For over 35 years, Amy has worked in key roles in Human Resources and Recruiting within the Financial Services Industry; first at Merrill Lynch and then running her consulting practice. While at Merrill Lynch, Amy spearheaded the Human Resources Consulting Talent Practice in the Prime Brokerage Division. At the time, this practice was the first of its kind to provide Human Resource recruiting and advisory services to the firm’s hedge fund clients. In addition to the build-out of this practice, Amy worked closely on senior management and board-level projects including leadership development, talent strategies, and performance measurement.

Amy spent the next four years running her own business consisting of HR consulting, recruiting, and executive and career coaching. Her first client was Credit Suisse, where she helped enhance their Human Resource Consulting Talent Practice within Prime Brokerage. After her project at Credit Suisse, Amy spent almost two years at Options Group (a global executive recruiting firm focusing on financial services) as an advisor focused heavily on recruiting both investment and non-investment professionals for hedge funds and a few select investment banking clients as well spearheaded the creation of HR squared (an HR consulting practice).

Amy’s career began at Merrill Lynch where she worked for 29 years as a Human Resource leader in the Institutional Capital Markets Group – serving many different functions and roles, ending as a Senior Managing Director within Human Resources.
