Amy Stephenson

People & Culture Transformation

Amy Stephenson is the Founder of Human. Launched in January 2013, Human is a people and culture consultancy that partners with business leaders and HR professionals to create thriving workplaces. With over two decades of experience in talent, leadership, and organisational development, Amy has supported hundreds of business owners and senior teams to navigate complex people challenges and build cultures that drive performance, engagement, and growth.
 
Her career spans in-house and consultancy roles, giving her a well-rounded view of what it takes to create great jobs and high-performing teams in fast-paced, ambitious environments. She brings a direct, practical approach that cuts through complexity and focuses on what really works, helping leaders unlock the full potential of their people.

In 2020, Amy launched the Human CEO podcast, where she interviews founders and business leaders about the realities of leading a business and building strong, values-led cultures. The podcast has since grown into a platform for real, honest conversations that inspire and challenge listeners across sectors.

Amy is also the driving force behind initiatives like the Human CEO CultureAlly and Career Lab, which provide practical support, resources, and coaching for leaders and professionals at all stages of their journey. Her work is grounded in the belief that businesses thrive when their people do; and that culture isn’t an HR function, it’s a leadership responsibility.
 
Whether working with scale-ups, established organisations, or startups finding their feet, Amy and her team bring energy, insight, and a deep commitment to making work better for everyone.
