About Chuck Edwards
25 years in data—building it, selling it, running it, and leading the teams that take it to market.I co-founded a managed database company, ran it for over a decade, and sold it. At AWS, I’ve applied that founder’s perspective at scale—building global partner programs from scratch, creating go-to-market strategies for database and AI services, and leading specialist sales organizations across the US. The common thread is data, from Oracle and PostgreSQL to Aurora and DynamoDB, from managed hosting to generative AI.My background lets me work across technical, commercial, and operational conversations in a way that’s hard to get from just one of those paths alone. Always happy to connect with people building in the data and AI space.
Experience
Sales Leadership, Data and Ai Services
Oct 2020 — Present · Seattle, WA, US
I built the regional database sales team in the Western US and developed the GTM playbook that became the template for national expansion. From there I took on the full US database sales organization, then broadened into leading the cross-domain specialist team—GenAI, Analytics, Database, Storage—for AWS’s US Healthcare and Life Sciences business. Through each step, the core of the job has stayed the same: build strong teams, help enterprise customers make good decisions about their data and AI infrastructure, and connect those decisions to their larger business ambitions.Head of Specialist Sales, US Healthcare & Life Sciences (2025–Present)Head of Database Sales & GTM, US (2024)Head of Database Sales & GTM, US West/Central (2020–2024)
