Former Amazon VP; 70+ patents; led global teams of 800+

Maven's Terms and Privacy Policy.

In my 15+ years at Amazon, I led global teams of 800+ and invented well-known businesses and products such as Prime Video, Amazon Video, Amazon Appstore, Merch by Amazon, Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime), and Twitch Commerce.

I've promoted 8 reports from Senior Manager (Amazon L7) to Director (Amazon L8), contributed to 25+ Director promotions, hired 10+ Directors internally and externally, drove the promotion of 3 engineers to Principal, and of my former reports 2 are current Amazon VPs (L10) and 5 are C-Suite outside of Amazon.

I retired from Amazon as a Vice President in September 2020 to allow me to focus on paying forward my good fortune to others.

Prior to Amazon, I spent 12 years at 3 startups.

Stronger Executive Presence: Be Visible, Gain Influence, & Drive Your Career

Stronger Executive Presence goes far beyond generic public speaking tips—it provides a sharp, strategic framework for driving alignment, commanding the room, and elevating your organizational profile. The real-world applications and peer discussions were immediate needle-movers for my day-to-day leadership. Highly recommended for any leader ready to make a step-function jump in visibility and impact.

Stronger Executive Presence: Be Visible, Gain Influence, & Drive Your Career

Loved this course! I appreciate the different perspectives from experts because executive presence definitely isn't a one size fits all. I found myself excited to try and share the tips I learned. Anyone wanting to improve their gravitas should enroll in this course. Ethan and Jason are a great duo and actually care about helping develop leaders.

Stronger Executive Presence: Be Visible, Gain Influence, & Drive Your Career

This was a great class- really excellent points to take home. Ethan and Jason were great. i already have a new slide pack with the important lessons to keep in mind. there is a lot to unpack, but it was presented in a forthright and digestible manner. the practice sessions were really good opportunities to learn as well. I would do this again, and several in the group put together a venue to continue learning together going forward.
