About Joe Fitzgerald

Experienced engineering and business leader with a proven track record of leading large-scale organizations across diverse domains, including cloud storage, developer tools, website infrastructure, and fulfillment/distribution operations. Passionate about developing strong leaders and building resilient, customer-focused teams that deliver scalable, high-impact solutions. Over two decades of leadership at Amazon and AWS, including roles as Engineering Director and General Manager for services like Amazon S3, S3 Glacier, and Developer Tools. Led teams ranging from 10 to 400+, overseeing some of AWS’s most critical and widely adopted services—supporting global enterprises and operating at massive scale and reliability. Outside of work, I’m actively engaged in my community—as a nonprofit board member for a local preschool, a youth soccer coach, and a regular volunteer. I’m driven by purpose, people, and a commitment to building things that last.
