Amy Whaley

With over 25 years in HR, I've found my passion in helping people grow and thrive in their careers. As Chief People Officer at PitchBook, I lead a diverse team that touches every aspect of our employees' experience – from recruiting and learning to engagement and operations.

I'm a generalist at heart, loving all the pieces that make up the people function. I've been an HR department of one and have built teams from the ground up. At PitchBook, I've had the privilege of growing our people team from less than ten to nearly 50 members.

My approach to leadership is about balance – understanding both what the employer needs to accomplish and what employees need to thrive. I'm a firm believer in owning your career and being your own CEO. My advice? Be curious, ask questions, and don't be afraid to take chances.

In everything I do, my goal is to create an environment where people can grow, learn, and make a real difference. I love helping people find their path and succeed along the way.
