“I had the pleasure of working for Ashwin at Amazon. Ashwin is a natural born leader who exemplifies each of the core Amazon traits including Customer Obsession. During our time working together, he was attuned to the strengths of each individual on the team, and helped guide us into a disciplined sales organization. Given his sound judgement, it was easy for us to follow his vision, while he left the specifics of execution to each manager and individual contributor on the team. Ashwin’s bold vision and focus on results will be key assets to any organization fortunate enough to have access to his leadership. ”
