About David Tan

Over the past 2+ decades, I have incubated and scaled disruptive technology products for multi-billion dollar markets. Originally trained as an electrical / computer engineer, I\'ve had the privilege to be part of product innovation across a range of technology domains, including AWS (enterprise technology), Amazon.com (global e-commerce), Dolby Laboratories (entertainment), Sierra Wireless (B2B SaaS) and Electronic Arts (electronic imaging). I’ve also been a founder or early employee of 4 venture-backed tech startups. I create a culture of customer-centric experimentation by combining customer obsession with data-driven, first principle thinking. Apply agile-based software development to \"build the car while driving it\" for prototyping and validating new product offerings, To rapidly scale proven product offerings, our teams set stretch goals on input-driven OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to achieve the desired outputs and results.During my 11 years at Amazon, I was in enterprise technology (AWS) for 5 years and 6 years in e-commerce. I founded two major product categories and took them from incubation to scale, defining strategy, building up teams, experimenting and validating product market fit, pulling levers to scale. In 2014, I joined Amazon\'s e-commerce marketplace business where I founded the team that invented a new Global Selling as a Service product, enabling tens of thousands of sellers to expand into 12 countries without lifting a finger and exceeding $1B revenue within four years of launch. In 2020, I joined AWS to incubate several Generative AI initiatives including launching a new service that brings together data silos from leading SaaS apps so that customers (i.e. IT, Security, Line of business end users) can easily use multiple best of breed apps for their digital transformation.
