Meet Ann Marie Peters, PhD, MBA

I’ve also held senior leadership roles in nonprofit organizations and higher education, where I led teams, drove strategy, and built programs with lasting impact. These experiences inform my work today—blending strategic thinking, practical execution, and a deep understanding of human and organizational dynamics.
With over 30 years of leadership experience and a PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, I founded AMP Consulting to help leaders think clearly, act strategically, and lead authentically
