Retired Amazon Vice President; 70+ patents; led global teams of 800+; LinkedIn Top Voice
In my 15+ years at Amazon, I led global teams of 800+ and invented well-known businesses and products such as Prime Video, Amazon Video, Amazon Appstore, Merch by Amazon, Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime), and Twitch Commerce.
- Reviewed 10,000+ resumes and conducted 2,500+ interviews.
- Hold 70+ patents.
- Helped advocate for and draft the Amazon Leadership Principle (LP) “Ownership” — the words, “They never say ‘that’s not my job.’” are mine.
I've promoted 8 reports from Senior Manager (Amazon L7) to Director (Amazon L8), contributed to 25+ Director promotions, hired 10+ Directors internally and externally, drove the promotion of 3 engineers to Principal, and of my former reports 2 are current Amazon VPs (L10) and 5 are C-Suite outside of Amazon.
I retired from Amazon as a Vice President in September 2020 to allow me to focus on paying forward my good fortune to others.
Prior to Amazon, I spent 12 years at 3 startups.
