• Drive revenue growth through strategic partnerships with emerging AI companies.
• Act as a trusted advisor to both startups and internal AWS teams in developing commercial strategies.
• Navigate and align multiple stakeholders across AWS to create founder-friendly deal structures.
• Develop flexible pricing and discount strategies that accommodate startup scaling needs.
