ABOUT LARS SCHMITZ
As Digital Innovation Lead for the public sector at AWS, I help organizations across Europe turn ideas into impactful digital products and services. With over seven years at Amazon Web Services and more than 25 years of experience in innovation consulting and technology development, I specialize in digital innovation, transformation, and innovation management. My expertise spans cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, and geospatial solutions, which I apply to help organizations navigate complex challenges and unlock new opportunities.Today, I run scalable innovation programs that guide teams from concept to execution with speed, clarity, and purpose. I apply Amazon’s “Working Backwards” methodology to ensure every initiative starts with a deep understanding of customer needs and delivers measurable value. Collaboration with startups, non-profit organizations, and mission-driven teams energizes my work, especially when building user-focused solutions that create lasting impact. Combining strategic thinking with hands-on product development, I strive to unlock new value through technology.Before joining AWS, I led the Esri Startup Program and worked as a Product Manager. Supporting early-stage companies and shaping geospatial solutions gave me deep insight into the startup ecosystem and product development. This experience reinforced my belief in agile innovation as a catalyst for meaningful change.Let’s connect if you’re exploring purposeful innovation or looking to scale transformation through cloud and emerging tech.
