About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    Kindle device giveaway? ✅ Last week, employees and community members grabbing free bananas at our community banana stand were treated to an unexpected holiday surprise: our Senior Vice President of Devices & Services Panos Panay stopped by to give away the All-New Kindle Paperwhite. It’s the thinnest and fastest Paperwhite we’ve ever built—pages turn 25% quicker, and the battery lasts up to three months on a single charge. Congrats to our devices teams on this launch. 🎉 Here’s more info about our whole new lineup of devices! https://amzn.to/3VIguPU

    If you’ve heard of Amazon, you probably know how important it is to us that we’re customer obsessed. But, how do we stay that way? After all, good intentions don’t work – we need great mechanisms. In 2002, we launched Customer Connection (C2). It started as a simple program to keep leaders connected to the frontline by creating immersive listening sessions to hear raw, unfiltered feedback straight from our customer service calls. It still exists today in our CEO of Worldwide Stores, Doug Herrington’s organization, and has evolved into a global comprehensive system that empowers Amazonians to create exceptional customer experiences. We don’t just use the program to understand and investigate ways we can improve, we also use it to share praise from customers with employees around the world. One particular customer called in to thank our operations team and the delivery drivers who make Amazon possible for her. So, we went around to let them hear it for themselves! 🥰 Thanks to all of our employees around the world who are making another holiday season happen for millions of customers around the world. PS—if you’re an employee, sign up for a C2 session here! https://amzn.to/3D8K3DT

    It’s been three years since I was last at #AWSreInvent and excited to be back. Am going to try doing a few low-key videos this week on recapping what I’m excited about and what we’re hearing from customers. Will start this series with a little reminiscing about the origin of AWS re:Invent. Intend to share some thoughts on some launches tomorrow.

    Excited about our deepening partnership with Anthropic. About a year ago, AWS became Anthropic’s primary cloud partner (which you can also see by the substantial momentum of Anthropic on Amazon Bedrock). Today, we become Anthropic’s primary foundation model training partner. Anthropic is excited about the price-performance advantage that Trainium offers, and we’re grateful for this confidence and partnership. Early days for what’s to come… https://lnkd.in/gzn8ZSkw
