I lead large-scale product and technology organizations focused on advancing the strategy, systems, and science behind Amazon’s global advertising business. My work spans applied science, machine learning, distributed systems, and monetization — with a focus on delivering business-critical outcomes at global scale.
I oversee a portfolio of initiatives executed by multiple cross-functional 2-pizza teams across product, engineering, and applied science. My organization owns Amazon’s largest sponsored ads delivery system, serving billions of ads daily, and one of its most advanced data platforms — processing tens of millions of keys per second and hundreds of terabytes of data.
I drive strategy and execution for Amazon Ads’ creative localization and multilingual platforms, generating localized content and rich media creative (video, images, audio, and text) in WW languages for over 2 million advertisers, utilizing LLMs, Diffusion, and other neural net based models. These systems are deeply integrated across Sponsored Ads and DSP to drive automatic creative generation with global coverage, and high relevance and performance. I lead development for various agentic systems like linguistic agents for language checks and quality assurance. Lastly, I lead international expansion for Sponsored Ads, Streaming TV Ads, and Amazon DSP (100+ launched to date), and own monetization strategy and systems for Amazon DSP fee pricing.
My work influences multi-org roadmaps and senior SVP and S-team leadership direction, grounded in a strong foundation of technical leadership, operational depth, and long-term product vision.
