Amy Low

Biography

Amy works across all of Emerson’s communication and media investment platforms, collaborating with partners to change the conversation—to make a persuasive case, on issues from education reform to immigration and conservation, that progress is possible.

She’s seen it happen before — how the power of a great idea, backed by a movement of motivated people, can bring down barriers and lift up lives. Before joining Emerson, Amy served as chief advocacy and engagement officer at Landesa, a non-governmental organization committed to reducing rural poverty by helping the poor to secure land rights. Before that, she spent nearly a decade with the political and communications consulting firm, GMMB, where she advised the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on building support for education reform, early learning, and addressing family homelessness. Amy began her career in issues-based advocacy working with Porter Novelli in Washington and New York City, where she served as the firm’s international project manager.

And when not at work, she’s proudly raising her son and daughter, teaching them to be resilient, grateful, and unafraid, whether at school, at home, on stage, on the court, and especially in the band.
