Chief Technology Officer | Profile |
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth`s most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You`ll also hear us say that at Amazon, it`s always Day 1. What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon`s very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.
The SpotXchange team supports creativity wherever possible, encouraging employees to try new approaches and create new services. The team`s philosophy is to “fail fast” — if a project fails, move on to the next initiative without committing too much time or too many resources to projects that “don`t take.” SpotXchange`s employees work hard and play hard – the company sponsors after-hours activities like softball, broomball and a Tough Mudder team and is rolling out an employee mentor program to support and guide high-potential leaders to build new skills and capabilities.

WePay started with a simple idea: an app that made it easy for friends to pool money for shared expenses like ski trips and club activities. Yet that simple idea wasn`t so simple to execute. It was 2008, and no payments system could easily and safely pool money from groups of people to pay out to others. So we built one. The team spent nearly two years negotiating contracts, dealing with regulators, and wrestling with bank integrations. We developed easy sign-up and frictionless checkout experiences. We also built one of the most advanced fraud detections systems around so we wouldn`t lose our shirts. And it worked. WePay started to get traction. There was just one problem.
