About Amber Salley Advisory Group, LLC

Amber Salley Advisory Group brings genuine independence to supply chain transformation grounded in 25 years across practitioner, consultant, analyst, and vendor perspectives. The firm was founded on a core insight: transformation advice is built for enterprises, but mid-market companies operate under different constraints. Most transformations stall not at diagnosis but at execution. The firm specializes in closing that gap. The practice draws from rare breadth: 12 years as a Gartner analyst with 4,000+ conversations across industries and company sizes; practitioner experience inside IBM's global supply chain; years as a strategy consultant at Accenture; and direct experience inside a software vendor understanding how supply chain technology is built and bought. That multi-vantage perspective informs work across three areas: helping mid-market operating companies diagnose where value lives, identify trapped capital, and build realistic transformation roadmaps using maturity model-led approaches. Advising supply chain technology vendors on market positioning, competitive strategy, and buyer understanding. Guiding organizations through technology selection and implementation, helping them define needs before choosing vendors and maximize value from existing investments. What distinguishes the firm: no vendor affiliation, no methodology to protect, no incentive to extend engagements beyond value. The model is fractional advisory—retainers, focused diagnostics, board roles. Credibility comes from understanding where vendors and buyers talk past each other, where enterprise best practices break down at mid-market scale, and what realistic transformation actually looks like.
