The article itself discusses inferring Amazon's priorities from changes to their s-team, including doubling the number of AWS s-team members.
I'm not sure I'm allowed to disclose which events/meetings their s-team regularly attends. I will say that I did have several opportunities to interact with them directly in meetings, and indirectly via goals setting and annual planning exercises.
Peter Desantis is a long time AWS guy, and was present at many of those same meetings/exercises. Peter, and other s-team members, talk about what it means to be AWS. That they've chosen to make him an s-team leader says to me that they like the culture the s-team is cultivating, and want to continue to grow it.
- jessriedel 7y agoBut priorities is not the same as culture! This is such a broad and vague connection. The "priorities" in the article are all about different markets (fashion, Alexa, AWS, etc.). I'm not going to litigate this further with you.
- offbyone 7y agoProbably for the best.. you're not really coming off very well here.
