Jay Amburkar — CEO
With nearly 20 years of leadership experience in the retail and consumer goods industry, I specialize in driving large-scale business transformation and building customer-centric capabilities that unlock sustainable growth. I lead initiatives at the intersection of engineering, design, marketing, commerce, and generative AI — helping global organizations reimagine growth and realize enterprise value. I focus on solving real industry problems by bringing together people, process, technology, data, and AI — to deliver ROI, and to shape a future where Return on Humanity (ROH) also becomes a true measure of success. I bring a deep industry point of view and a proven track record of delivering results through P&L growth. I lead high-performing, cross-functional teams across continents — scaling operating models, building digital commerce platforms, and driving commercial excellence for some of the world’s most iconic consumer brands. At the heart of my leadership philosophy is a commitment to gratitude, belonging, and an abundance mindset. I truly believe that being truly human is a competitive advantage — and that authentic intimacy is the “AI” that will differentiate us in the age of artificial intelligence. If you’re curious about consulting, digital transformation, AI, or what it means to lead with purpose, I’d love to connect. I live in Atlanta with my family, and outside of work, I love to travel, practice yoga, and am a dedicated Vipassana meditation practitioner.
