Amber is an engineering leader and strategist with 15+ years' experience building teams, processes and products in software and legal tech.

Her current work spans technology, business and regulation. Drawing on her experience in the software industry, and her pre-tech background in legal and financial administration, she helps people evaluate risks and opportunities from multiple perspectives, supporting informed decision-making in evolving environments.

Amber is skilled at translating across perspectives and communication styles, and at distilling clear, values-aligned processes that work for real humans. She credits both her professional experience leading diverse teams and her lived experience as an autistic ADHDer, who often sees the world differently from those around her, with shaping this approach.

Amber is a strong advocate for neurodiversity inclusion, sharing openly about her own corporate experience. She joined FutureTech because she believes every child deserves to know they belong without pretending to be someone else.

Through her personal experience living and working alongside neurodivergent people, Sylvia has seen the difference that understanding, flexibility, and strengths-based support can make.
