About Chris Targowski

I am a senior public affairs and government relations leader with over 15 years’ experience operating at the intersection of policy, politics and corporate strategy. In my current role at Amazon, I advise on political and regulatory issues linked to major investment and infrastructure programmes, supporting long-term growth and strategic positioning. My experience spans corporate, public sector and political environments, including serving as an elected councillor. I engage with senior government stakeholders across local and national levels, including ministers, MPs and officials, and translate complex policy issues into clear, commercially relevant strategies. My work focuses on the intersection of policy, regulation and business strategy at scale.
