About Heather W.
Long story short: I love the planet, people, and behavioral science. Lucky for me these are fundamental to my work. I build and execute partnership and research investment programs for Amazon Sustainability supporting energy procurement and infrastructure, sustainability science and technology, and public policy teams. Long story, not short: Communications strategist and relationship management expert with a talent for developing authentic and focused relationships to accelerate organizational goals. Extensive experience across tech companies and non-profits leading strategic partnerships with academics, analysts, corporations, media, and NGOs. Recognized for building Amazon Sustainability’s first strategic partnerships program, establishing Samsung Electronics America\'s analyst relations program launching countless products and services (and rebuilding customer trust following the Note7 recall), and serving as a trusted communications advisor and legislative speech writer at Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the American Red Cross. Known for embodying an entrepreneurial spirit, cultivating exceptional relationships, and maintaining high-judgment in adverse situations. Nominated by colleagues and clients to PRNEWS\' Supervisor of the Year. Recently accomplished a personal goal of long-term travel during a sabbatical, covering 17 countries.
