About the team
We are mission control for new devices, we ensure Amazon Device customers have a seamless buying experience.
We orchestrate stakeholders with guidance, not mandate. We don’t own everything – We help clarify ownership, provide transparency, and remove roadblocks so everyone can deliver.
