Account Management, Sales, and Business Development

What might surprise people about me is that, despite now working in an advertising sales role, I was originally an engineer with a specialization in supply chains. I’m grateful Amazon offered me the possibility to pivot my career to Ads, which was a dream industry, but where I never imagined I could work with my background.This is the kind of career transition that would have been impossible in most companies, but Amazon relies as much on hiring based on candidates’ soft skills—our Leadership Principles—as hard skills. This means there are endless opportunities to re-imagine your career.

I’m a sales account manager. I work closely with my account executive to deliver campaign optimizations and develop annual brand plans and campaign media plans for our customers. I also provide data analysis to help clients achieve their campaign objectives.

What I love about working here is the inclusive community. I’m Native Hawaiian, and my culture is very important to me. My team fully supports me joining the Indigenous@ Global Board as the Community Engagement lead. In this role, I work to support Indigenous organizations through fundraising and volunteering. Whatever’s important to you, your community is here!

What I love about working in Amazon Ads is that it offers me a dynamic professional landscape to grow in.

Since I joined Amazon seven years ago, retail technology and the way people shop have changed dramatically. As a result, we’re always innovating, whether through new ad formats, audience capabilities, or integration with emerging technologies.

I’m always learning about the latest trends in advertising and getting to use them to help my customers grow. This constant evolution fosters a culture of learning and adaptability, making the work environment both challenging and intellectually stimulating.
