Learning Goals

Prior to Amazon, I was an entrepreneur - starting and selling 3 companies in the sports, DTC and events verticals. I can speak a little to that experience, as well as my transition to Amazon, one the world's largest employers. Additionally, my time and path from working in an enhanced logistics role (i.e. How the Amazon.com operation works at scale) and into the business development role I have today.
