Meet Amy Castronova
Your Leadership Alchemist
A proven entrepreneur, Amy spent two decades leading and growing her technical communications company before successfully exiting the company in 2021. Since then, she and her husband have built a portfolio of three more businesses, spanning franchising, acquisitions, and ground-up ventures—giving her a wide-ranging view of what it takes to build, scale, and evolve companies at every stage.
By the time she turned 30, Amy was well known as an authority in business and leadership, receiving awards such:
Invited to the White House twice to be recognized as one of the top 100 companies run by young entrepreneurs that impact our economy.
Young Entrepreneur Champion of the Year in New York by the U.S Small Business Administration
Rising Star by the Women Presidents Organization
Rochester Business Person of the Year
On her journey to finding success, Amy did all the things the American culture says a successful entrepreneur is supposed to do. She dedicated long hours to her business and made lots of personal sacrifices, she juggled growing humans and a business simultaneously, she made strategic decisions to scale her business, and kept up the ideology of the American dream - the faith that an individual can attain success and virtue through strenuous effort - all while her happiness and inner peace were eroding and her frustration and fatigue were rising.
At the very bottom of a burn-out spiral, she found herself in a moment of deep reflection. Amy chose to redefine what success and fulfillment meant in her life. Drawing on her thorough understanding of energetic alignment through Human Design, she made the powerful decision to close a meaningful chapter—stepping away from the technical communications industry and her longtime identity as President. In doing so, she created space for a new chapter—one rooted in alignment, purpose, and work that truly energizes her.
Today, it’s the reason she created Leadership Alchemy and became a business growth coach —to guide ambitious entrepreneurs through the powerful intersection of intuitive alignment and strategic action.
X Not as a fancy name for a coach who has never grown a business
X Not as a one-size-fits-all framework that disconnects you from yourself
But as a complete reimagining of what growth can look and feel like—when you lead from alignment. A transformational space where clarity meets strategy, and inner wisdom meets execution.
Reimagine what growth can look and feel like …
As an experienced leader and facilitator, Amy is known for her ability to inspire and guide others to make courageous changes in their lives with her provoking yet compassionate approach. She is a model of making bold moves to live a life of fulfillment. She has always bucked the trend – playing ice hockey before women’s teams were widespread, studying in a male-dominated field, buying a business at 20 years old, and exiting before the age of 40. Combining business, leadership, and human design, she supports others to live life on their terms and shining a light on what's possible.
Today, Amy combines a truly unique blend of proven, structured business frameworks with individualized energetic alignment, empowering leaders to scale their companies while creating lives they love. She believes true fulfillment arises from aligning your authentic self with strategic action, helping her clients reclaim their time, energy, and passion.
Amy is a certified Bloom Growth Coach, seasoned entrepreneur, facilitator, speaker whose impactful workshops, retreats, and coaching have transformed hundreds of businesses and lives around the world. Outside of her work, Amy loves traveling with her husband and family, creating spaces for deep connection, and exploring new adventures—proving daily that success and fulfillment can beautifully coexist.
