Two offerings. One approach.

The work is the same.
The entry point is different.

Most advisors work on the outside of a company. Strategy. Structure. Org charts. Amilya works at the intersection of behavior and operations. Amilya finds what is actually stopping the company, fixes it, and builds the conditions for what comes next.

Amilya embeds alongside the founder or CEO. Not at arm's length. Not in monthly calls. Inside the company, side by side, until the work is done.

The turnaround buyer is in pain. Revenue is down, team is in crisis, investors are asking hard questions. They need someone who has been in this exact situation before and knows how to stop the bleeding.

The scale buyer is frustrated. The company is working but not moving. They have tried strategy, restructuring, new hires. The ceiling will not break. They need someone who has built through that ceiling and can see what is invisible from the inside.

Both are real. Both are different. Both are where Amilya does her best work.

Company Turnaround

When the company
is broken,
Amilya comes in and fixes it.

Turnaround is the most urgent version of this work. Something is breaking. Revenue is declining, team is fracturing, culture has collapsed, or investors are running out of patience. The company needs someone who has been inside situations like this before and knows exactly what to do.

Amilya embeds directly alongside the founder or CEO. Not at arm's length. Not in monthly calls. Amilya stays until the situation stabilizes and the company has a clear path forward. Amilya diagnoses what is actually wrong, not just what looks wrong on the surface, and builds the behavioral and operational changes needed to stop the decline and create momentum.

The behavioral and the operational are inseparable in a turnaround. Companies do not fail from strategy alone. They fail because the person at the top is making decisions from a pattern they cannot see, and that pattern is running into every corner of the business. Amilya fixes both at the same time.

Talk to Amilya about turnaround
You may need turnaround advisory if
The situation has become urgent.
  • Revenue is declining and you cannot identify the real cause
  • Key people are leaving and the team is losing cohesion
  • Investors or the board are asking questions you cannot answer
  • The same crisis keeps returning in different forms
  • You have tried consultants, restructuring, and new hires. Nothing has held.
  • You suspect the problem is you but do not know what to do with that
Who this is for
  • PE and VC portfolio companies underperforming
  • Family office operating businesses in decline
  • Enterprise divisions in crisis
  • Founder-led companies at risk of failure
  • Managing directors with a problem company in the portfolio
The behavioral and the operational
are never separate.
Behind every company that is breaking, there is a person whose behavioral pattern is running inside every decision, every hire, every conversation, and every missed opportunity. Fix the behavior. The operations follow. That is how Amilya works.

Company Scale

When the company
is stuck,
Amilya comes in and moves it.

Not every engagement starts in crisis. Some of the most important work Amilya does is with companies that are genuinely healthy and completely stuck. The model works. The team is reasonable. The market is there. And the ceiling will not move no matter what they try.

This is a different kind of frustration from turnaround. The founder is not in pain. They are blocked. They have tried strategy, new hires, restructuring, outside consultants. Each one produced a temporary result and the ceiling returned. Because the ceiling is not a strategy problem. It is a behavioral one. The same decisions that built the company to here are the exact decisions preventing it from getting to there.

Amilya has built through every version of this ceiling. Amilya knows what is invisible from the inside. Amilya embeds alongside the founder or CEO, decodes what is actually blocking growth, and builds the behavioral and operational changes needed to break through and sustain what comes next.

Talk to Amilya about scale
You may need scale advisory if
The company is healthy and not moving.
  • Revenue has plateaued and you cannot identify why
  • You have tried multiple growth strategies and the ceiling keeps returning
  • The team is capable but execution keeps breaking down at the same point
  • You are working harder than the results justify
  • Something is blocking the next level and you cannot see it from where you are
  • You are preparing for an exit and need the company to perform at a different level
Who this is for
  • PE and VC portfolio companies not hitting growth targets
  • Founder-led companies between $5M and $100M seeking the next level
  • Enterprise divisions that have stalled inside larger organizations
  • Family office businesses ready to scale but not moving
  • Companies preparing for acquisition or exit
How Amilya works

Amilya embeds.
Amilya does not consult from a distance.

Most advisors stay at arm's length. They assess, report, and recommend. Amilya works differently. Amilya comes in alongside the founder or CEO and stays until the work is done. The engagement is intensive, direct, and built around real situations in real time.

01
Amilya starts with the real problem, not the presenting one.
The first conversation is not about strategy. It is about what keeps happening. Amilya listens for the pattern underneath the problem. Amilya finds the origin of what is actually driving the results the company is getting.
02
Amilya maps the behavioral and operational picture together.
Most advisors separate the person from the business. Amilya never does. The decisions, the culture, the team dynamics, and the revenue outcomes are all downstream of behavior. Amilya maps both simultaneously.
03
Amilya works alongside the founder or CEO directly.
Not through layers. Not through reports. Amilya is in the room. In the conversations. Sometimes in the meetings. The work happens in real situations, not in theory. That is the only way it actually changes anything.
04
Amilya builds the change into the actual trigger moments.
A new understanding alone does not change a company. New behavior in exact trigger moments does. Amilya builds specific responses into the situations where the old pattern would fire. The completion signal is behavioral change, not insight reported in a session.
05
Amilya stays until it holds.
Amilya does not hand over a report and leave. Amilya stays until the behavioral and operational changes are holding under pressure. That is what makes the difference between a temporary result and a permanent one.
The key distinction
Both engagements start the same way. The entry point is different.
In both turnaround and scale, Amilya starts by decoding the behavioral pattern that is producing the results the company is getting. The same diagnostic process. The same depth. What changes is the urgency, the timeline, and the emotional state of the person Amilya is working with.
Entry point by offering
Turnaround
Something is breaking. The conversation starts with what is in crisis and works backward to the origin.
Scale
Something is stuck. The conversation starts with what is not moving and works inward to what is holding it.
Who Amilya works with

High access. Limited availability.

Amilya does not take on volume. Amilya works with a small number of companies and leaders at any given time. This is intensive, embedded work. It requires full access and full commitment from the founder or CEO.

Private equity funds and portfolio companies
VC-backed founders and operators
Family offices and operating businesses
Enterprise C-suite and leadership teams
Music, sports, and entertainment executives

The moment it clicks,
everything changes.

I had tried three different consulting firms. They all gave me smart recommendations and nothing held. Amilya found what was actually wrong in the first week. We have not had the same problem since.

We were a healthy company completely stuck at the same revenue number for three years. Amilya came in and within ninety days we understood exactly why and had a clear path through it.

Most advisors work on the company. Amilya worked on me. That turned out to be the same thing. Once I saw my own pattern clearly, the company moved differently.
