2025 Goals for Execs in Transition to Consulting & Advisory

Many of us have spent 15+ years heads-down. We've done hard things, built track records and gained real expertise. But now, we want more: time, freedom, variety, diversification, optionality. For these reasons and more, Execs are leaving full-time employment and pursuing work portfolios - a mix of consulting, advisory, education, Board seats, coaching. If this is a dream of yours too, join us!

Amanda Schwartz Ramirez

Full-time Startup Advisor and Consultant for Strategy & Ops

Hi! I'm Amanda Schwartz Ramirez, a strategy and operations executive, advisor and board member. Over the last 15 years, I've built and scaled high-performing organizations at their earliest stages, during hyper-growth, and at Fortune 500 scale.

Currently, as an advisor and founder of Garden Labs, I help venture-backed CEOs and COOs hone a more focused strategy and scale more intentionally. I also work closely with publicly-traded companies to advise on emerging tech.

I built a comprehensive course that details how other execs can on-ramp into consulting full-time, reducing the risk of costly mistakes and missed opportunities. This course matters to me because it took time and cycles to pursue this path myself, and I want to pay it forward in helping other great execs enter the market.
