At the intersection of business strategy and technical innovation is where I thrive. With 12+ AWS certifications and 20+ years in technology leadership, I'm driven by an insatiable curiosity to solve complex business challenges through digital transformation. My journey has taken me from implementing enterprise-wide systems at Staples to architecting insurance platforms at Hanover, and now leading product strategy for member experiences at BJ's Wholesale Club. Throughout this path, I've remained fascinated by how technology can transform customer experiences and drive business growth. I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of architects and product leaders, believing that the best innovations come from diverse, collaborative teams. When I'm not deep in technology strategy sessions or working with cross-functional teams, you'll find me exploring emerging technologies, sharing insights about cloud architecture, or testing new AWS services (and occasionally breaking things in my AWS accounts to learn how they work!). My approach combines hands-on technical expertise with business acumen - whether I'm spearheading a $200M digital revenue initiative, designing a marketing technology ecosystem, or scaling our B2B platform toward $2B+. I believe in using technology not just because it's new or exciting, but because it delivers meaningful outcomes for customers and businesses. 👉🏽 Let's connect and explore how technology can solve your organization's most compelling challenges. https://vinootech.com | vinoo.palayoor@gmail.com
