  • Account Manager at Amazon Web Services
    Sep 2018 - Dec 2020 · 2 yrs 4 mos

    My curiosity and passion for technology brought me, through a second loop in Amazon, to join AWS! Another time in my life, I had to come back to study and learn a completely new world and its rules – the Cloud – and everything has been so exiting. In Amazon we use to say that it’s always day 1 and we really love self-starter. The key to be a successful account manager in AWS starts from been focused on generating added value for the customer, to the savvy use of a combination of AWS services, resources, partners and programs to deliver the best possible solution. Looking back to past tech experiences and projects wearing the Cloud "lenses" was amazing and it helped me to understand better and deeply how to support my customers in their cloud journey, to be ahead in the cloud, along with their digital transformation.

    • Senior Product Manager

      Been a senior product manager for consumer electronic in Amazon is been, indeed, like an MBA. I had the opportunity to discover the culture of Amazon, managing the business based on our unique leadership principles, from customer obsession to deliver results. I owned a sizable portion of category P&L, performing planning and business strategy, driving best-in-class customer experience, and maximizing revenue growth through timely analysis and action, while also driving large scale, high visibility projects across many different Amazon teams. Everything starts from the customers and through working backwards translate into an enterprise architecture, described in form of a narrative, which describe business and technical changes to the organization that can deliver the result.
