Ted Lund is a Senior Category Manager at Amazon. He possess expertise in brand management, product management, marketing strategy, product development, product marketing and 44 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I met Ted when he joined our Amazon Business team in 2021. He initially took on some of our largest, most complex, accounts to apply his industry expertise and re-earn trust. Ted quickly delivered results and moved into a people-leadership role as our MRO segment lead. Ted excels through relationships. He quickly built mechanisms for collaboration with our product, selection, and managed strategic customer teams. In my 8 years at Amazon, Ted is the only segment lead who’s earned an invitation to write about our AB 3P impact on customer team QBRs, and own sections of shared newsletter outreach. In addition to Ted’s stakeholder relationships, he invested his time and energy into developing and promoting not one, but two internal people-managers under him. Ted’s superpowers start with genuine curiosity (and follow-through) on deeply learning the product and business to better understand impact of his team’s work. He’s the epitome of “Think global, act local”. Ted prioritizes connecting teams and investing time & energy in developing his staff." and "I've had the pleasure of working directly for Ted for the past 2 years, and during that time, he consistently pushed and supported me in my professional development, taking the time to provide thoughtful coaching while also empowering me to take on additional responsibilities and scope. Beyond our direct work, Ted demonstrates exceptional leadership in bringing cohesion to our team. He addresses topics with empathy, values everyone's opinion, and has a genuine vested interest in seeing all of us be successful. Ted has also been instrumental in creating cross-functional relationships with our category and sales teams which did not exist prior. The connections have allowed our team to influence and action strategies with a goal to increase the customer experience. Ted is the kind of leader who brings out the best in those around him. I'm grateful for the chance to learn from his example, and I would highly recommend him to any organization looking for an empowering, results-driven, and deeply thoughtful people manager."
