About

I lead global AI and research organizations of 150+ scientists, engineers, and product leaders at Amazon, supported by a senior management team spanning applied science, machine learning engineering, software development, product/program management, and business intelligence. My teams design and deploy AI-powered optimization and machine learning systems that drive Amazon’s worldwide supply chain planning, operations, and execution — delivering multi-billion-dollar impact annually. Beyond large-scale optimization, I spearhead Amazon’s work in agentic AI workflow automation, bringing autonomous decision-making into production systems that are transforming the future of supply chain technology. As a leader, I focus on building resilient, high-performing global organizations: empowering senior leaders, aligning cross-continental teams, and driving operational clarity. I cultivate environments where top technical talent thrives, innovation scales, and results endure.
