After a long career working at the leading edge of technology, I retired from full time work on June 3rd 2022. I joined Amazon in October 2016, as a VP in AWS Marketing focused on building relationships with customers. I keynoted 20 AWS Summits around the world, presented on technical and management topics at many events, and hired the open source community engagement team. Moving to Amazon Worldwide Sustainability in March 2021, I led sustainability marketing for AWS, invested in the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative, helped coordinate the rapid growth in sustainability related headcount across AWS, and helped author, launch and promote the Well Architected Pillar for Sustainability.I learned to code fifty years ago in high school, graduated in Applied Physics and Electronics from The City University, London forty years ago, and worked for Cambridge Consultants Ltd, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Netflix, Battery Ventures, and Trifork (as a board member), before joining Amazon.I'm advising a few companies, speaking at conferences and private events from time to time, and doing occasional consulting and analyst work. I’m also re-designing the IoT systems for my house near Monterey California, playing guitar more, spending time with my parents in the UK, traveling to some new places, and going on some long driving tours with my wife Laurel.
