Amy Campbell
Dr. Amy Campbell is Chief People Officer at Overhaul, a supply chain integrity technology company, where she has spent a decade helping the company grow from a team of five to a global organization of nearly 700 employees. She holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Virginia and began her career as a counselor, educator, and creator of mental health programs before moving into tech.
Psychology, Not Corporate Buzzwords, Is the Real Foundation
Amy's central thesis is that psychology is a genuine business driver: applying evidence-based psychological principles and human-centered leadership leads to measurably higher engagement, team cohesion, and company success, not just a nicer place to work. She's built Overhaul's culture around strengths-based approaches, emphasizing what teams and individuals do well rather than defaulting to deficit-focused management, and credits that emphasis with boosting morale, engagement, and even profitability. She's candid that even mental health professionals aren't immune to burnout, having experienced it herself while scaling Overhaul through rapid growth, geopolitical upheaval, and a global pandemic, and argues effective leadership starts with leaders prioritizing their own wellbeing and modeling healthy behaviors before asking it of anyone else.
