ampleo team

Meet the people who do the work. 

Our leaders have been in the C-suite of fast-growing companies. They bring that experience and expertise directly to your business, backed by Ampleo Intelligence.

No one at Ampleo advises on work they haven't done themselves. They've been the CFO, run HR, or led marketing. They know what it takes because they've done it. And every one of them works with our AI platform so their time stays on strategy, not spreadsheets.

Leadership

Lincoln Howell

CEO

Lincoln runs Ampleo. Before becoming CEO in 2022, he held senior leadership roles at venture capital, private equity, and Fortune 500 companies. He’s built and scaled businesses across e-commerce, manufacturing, technology, real estate, and industrial markets.

Jon Allen

President, Finance

Jon oversees our finance practice. He’s worked as a part-time CFO inside multiple fast-growing companies and has 10+ years of finance leadership across SaaS, banking, restaurants, healthcare, and e-commerce. He also teaches Financial Modeling at the University of Utah.

Joe Grover

Chief Growth Officer

Division presidents

Abby Martin

President, Human Resources

Abby runs Ampleo HR. She’s spent 15 years building people strategies for companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100s. She’s known for one thing above all: she doesn’t just design the plan. She makes sure it actually works.

David Mink

President, Marketing

David founded Avalaunch Media in 2012 and built it into one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in the country: 50 people, 8 figures, clients like Red Bull, GoPro, and Microsoft. After working with hundreds of companies, he kept seeing the same pattern: businesses with a real marketing leader get results. Those without one waste time and money. That's why he built the first fractional CMO, agency-backed solution and why he joined Ampleo.

Ryan Hutchins

President, Valuation

Ryan founded Peak Business Valuation, a national firm that delivers 1,100+ business valuations and 150+ equipment appraisals a year. He works with business owners who are buying, selling, or growing — and need to know what they actually have. His focus is quality, accuracy, and making sure the number means something.

Jason Parr

President, Sales Tax

Jason has spent 30 years going deeper into one discipline while most firms go broader. He joined Peisner Johnson in 1996 and built his career there learning every service line, working through every kind of situation, and eventually becoming President and CEO. The Sales Tax People has completed 35,000+ projects for companies ranging from regional mid-market businesses to large multinationals. His clients are CFOs, controllers, and the accountants who serve them, usually calling when the exposure has already been building quietly for months. He'd rather you call before that point.

Matt Christensen

President, Turnaround and Restructuring

Matt brings 18 years representing debtors and trustees in receivership and bankruptcy proceedings, with a knack for the creative negotiation that moves a contested matter toward resolution. He has shepherded consensually confirmed plans in some of the region's most complex multi-party cases. CIRA, JD and LLM from Duke Law.

Jon Allen

President, Finance

Jon oversees our finance practice. He’s worked as a part-time CFO inside multiple fast-growing companies and has 10+ years of finance leadership across SaaS, banking, restaurants, healthcare, and e-commerce. He also teaches Financial Modeling at the University of Utah.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

How We Work

Always Amplify

One team. One Ampleo.

Experience doesn't add up—it compounds. We share what we know, stay curious, and make each other better. Team is the multiplier.

Manage What Matters

Focus is a choice.

We do what matters most—for our clients and our people. You can do anything. You can't do everything. Enjoy the ride.

Progress Over Perfection

Done beats perfect.

We have a bias for action and we're willing to challenge how things have always been done. We learn as we go and keep moving. Momentum matters.

Live True

Do good. Be good.

We show up authentically human and do what we say we're going to do—every time. Trust is our business.

Experts Without Egos

We over me.

We bring real expertise but leave our egos at the door. We listen, challenge each other, and let the best idea win. Service before self.

Operate Like Owners

Own the outcome.

We're entrepreneurs at heart. We take initiative, use resources wisely, and follow through. We're judged on results, not recommendations.

Meet the team

We're operators, not consultants. We show up, dig in, and care about the outcome — for our clients and each other. Here's what that looks like.
