About Chandra Pinapala

Imagine a “cloud smart” world, where businesses - from enterprises to SMBs - can operate with unprecedented agility, security and confidence to reimagine what they can do for their customersAs Director, Global Sls, I lead a team that scales business impact through partnerships and collaboration with global system integrators (GSIs) and ISV alliances to develop ecosystems and create shared value. With my deep understanding of the competitive cloud landscape and partner ecosystem, I identify and profitably address market needs through relevant technology-based solutions.I have a strong passion for unlocking the collective potential of teams through collaborative efforts and influencing the direction of innovative solutions. My personal motto is: move fast, think big and deliver great outcomes. It is a pleasure to work with some of the biggest names in retail, financial services, manufacturing and transportation to deliver cloud technologies that power innovation for their customers. I believe that the world thrives when the most diverse array of voices are given equal opportunities to express themselves. I am committed to growing the representation of diverse leaders on my team, as well as fostering digital skill development across a wide range of communities – including in the U.S, Africa, Asia and more.At AWS, one of my passions has been channeling the strengths of Amazon into the education and skill development initiatives into community colleges across the U.S. and Mexico. Without investing in the next generation of talent, we cannot maintain our position as the leading force in cloud computing; help customers implement the best possible cloud decisions; or support their efforts to build strong, resilient and responsive businesses.
