About sumanth venkatesan

Principal Product Manager at Amazon, Quince

I'm a Product and Business Leader with 10 years of experience at Amazon. I have demonstrated expertise across job functions (Product Management, Program Management and Business Development) due to which I have a deep appreciation of how various functions come together to make meaningful progress in any service/product. I carry a track record of proven results in setting up & scaling new businesses. In my 10 years at Amazon, I was also a Hiring Bar Raiser (<0.5% of Amazonians) and played an active role in streamlining our hiring and people experience processes. I'm a huge advocate for simplicity and understanding root causes of problems. You'd find me saying "Why" or "What does that mean?" quite often in meetings. I really believe that being in a product role is a privilege and hence, it's imperative to make the most of it and give the end user/customer the best experience. I enjoy discourse across product topics/philosophy and am always open to a conversation.
