Amy Ho

Amy X serves as Director of Product Management at Compsych in North Las Vegas, Nevada, a role she has held since 2019 in the HR tech industry. In this position, she focuses on driving product strategy and product vision into executable and tactical milestones that teams can effectively achieve. Her educational background includes a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California at Irvine and an MBA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign earned in 2020 with a focus on business analytics and digital marketing. Prior to transitioning into software product management, Amy earned a professional engineering license in mechanical engineering and certification as a project management professional, both of which have since expired. She previously volunteered with PMIOC, the project management professional organization chapter in California, where she supported professional and career development by running events and job fairs. Amy attributes her success to an element of luck combined with a growth mindset that embraces being open, vulnerable, and self-initiating while staying on the edge of her comfort zone. She advises not selling oneself short and not leaving stones unturned when opportunities arise. Among the values most important to her are authenticity and making genuine, compassionate connections at the micro level. In her field, she sees challenges in balancing organizational goals with individual self-interests as a leader, while opportunities exist in AI unlocking human potential rather than replacing it.
