Pawan Uppuluri is a Chief Technology Officer at Bezos Academy. Colleagues describe him as "I have had the opportunity to work with Pawan at Amazon as her HR Business partner and have a high regard for her. She is a thorough professional, an excellent communicator and refrains from taking sides. She always has been very issue centric, straightforward and to the point about her opinions/stands. She is appreciative and respectful of all her relationships at work and hence a positive role model to her team and others. She is a team player and very supportive of her team members - I recall a particular situation where she has volunteered to play on her team’s cricket squad if they fell short of a player to participate in a league match. She does not shy away from rolling up her sleeves to take things to a logical closure. What I particularly like about her is the perfect blend of ferocity in driving her stand and openness to different perspectives. It will be a delight to work with her in the future.", "Strong willed product manager who can easily front-end a highly technical team by filtering noise and focusing on core objectives of the product under development, a great advocate, manager, implementer and ... slightly deadline freak ;-)", and "A sharp person, Pawan is a professional to the core - she is detail-oriented, articulate and results-oriented - an asset on any team :)"
