What Amplius Group does

The Amplius Group is a private advisory and partnership firm headquartered in Bangkok and founded in 2010, serving organizations operating primarily in the Global South across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Its service portfolio is organized around four practice areas: Aid-to-Market consulting for organizations transitioning from charitable models to market-based sustainability; Organizational Transitions support for leaders navigating change; Mission-Critical Technology advisory covering blockchain, digital financial infrastructure, agricultural technology, and water geolocation; and Trust-Based Connections facilitation leveraging the firm's cross-continental network. The firm is not a technology company; its core offering is human advisory and the convening of otherwise inaccessible counterparties.

The firm is led by Founder & President Doug Fike (Master's in Organizational Leadership, Oxford fellowship, four decades of executive coaching) alongside Founding Partners David Boyd (connections across Asia Pacific, Africa, and Washington D.C., former University of the Nations administrator and advisor to U.S. Senate and House leaders) and Charlene Fike (four decades of business-building, focus on women's economic agency and emerging technology). Together the founding team claims more than 100 years of combined on-the-ground experience.

The business model is relationship-driven and bespoke. Engagements are structured around the nature of each opportunity rather than a fixed service menu, with fees tied to partnership arrangements and the firm investing its own time, relationships, networks, and reputation into outcomes. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, no standard proposals are issued, and detailed case studies are shared only in conversation. The firm deliberately maintains a limited number of active deep-engagement partnerships and works with organizations across the intersection of marketplace, government, and mission-driven enterprise. No funding rounds, acquisitions, product launches, or external institutional investors are disclosed.
