About Amber H

I’m a finance leader and strategic advisor with 15+ years of experience spanning accounting operations, financial planning, and executive-level decision support. Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong record of improving processes, driving cost savings, and enabling growth. As an Advisor at Manifold Bio, I collaborate with leadership on commercialization strategies, partnerships, and fundraising, bridging biotech innovation and business execution. Previously, at Finance of America, I led financial operations for a $300M loan portfolio, delivering greater forecast accuracy and operational efficiencies that saved millions annually. My journey from accounting intern to financial director has honed my ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights. I’m passionate about helping companies navigate growth, scale sustainably, and prepare for major milestones like IPOs or M&A. Let’s connect if you’re interested
