Sean Donahoe — Director of Engineering
I am STO (Eng+Product+Sci) for Amazon's internal Ad Server team. We make the final descsion on which ad to serve across Amazon's variety of consumer touch points. We operate WW, across formats (AVOD, SVOD, web, app, audio streaming, podcasting, connected and disconnected devices, digital out of home, and live events). We scale to millions of concurrent users at peak and run multiple peaks simultaneously. My professional background is varied, with success across engineering, ML, applied science, product management, service, sales, biz dev, and corporate strategy positions. I gravitate to emerging problem spaces and hire others who long for the ambiguity and growth inherent in these areas.
