About Xander Kent

Driving Amazon’s global strategy for Circular Economy and Extended Producer Responsibility, I focus on reducing waste, enabling responsible products, and strengthening customer trust through forward-looking stewardship and global partnerships. Previously, I led Amazon’s Global Controversial Products and North America Compliance teams, where I implemented trust and safety policies that safeguarded brand integrity and customer well-being. My leadership has spanned developing managers into leaders, designing scalable detection systems, and collaborating with senior business, legal, PR, public policy, and technical stakeholders to minimize brand risk and maintain customer trust.
