Dr. Gary L. Owens, Jr.
Founder, President
I’m Gary —executive coach, leadership strategist, and founder of amplifi.
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked alongside leaders navigating high-stakes environments, complex systems, and constant change. I’ve led large teams, managed multimillion-dollar operations, and sat in the chair where critical decisions get made. That firsthand experience shapes everything I do at amplifi.
I work with professionals who are ready to lead with greater clarity, presence, and resilience. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, preparing for a promotion, or leading through disruption, my coaching helps you build the mindset and momentum to move forward—confidently and effectively.
Before launching amplifi., I spent almost 20 years as a healthcare executive, leading strategic initiatives in fast-paced, high-pressure settings. That work taught me what it truly takes to lead well: self-awareness, adaptability, and the ability to connect vision with action. Today, I bring that same operational insight and human-centered approach to my work with leaders across industries.
Clients describe my style as both direct and compassionate. I’m not here to sugarcoat things - I am here to support your growth, challenge your thinking, and walk alongside you as you stretch into what’s next. One client put it simply:
“Gary helped illuminate my blind spots and gave me the tools to lead with confidence. His coaching made an immediate impact on both my career and my life.”
That’s the heart of amplifi.: helping leaders grow with intention, lead with integrity, and create positive, lasting impact.
If you’re ready to unlock your full potential—and amplify what matters—I’m here to help.
Let’s begin.
