About Max Eelkema

Sr. Program Manager with 5 years at Amazon and a focus on enablement and operations strategy at AWS. Currently serving as the Strategic PM for the Worldwide Prospecting Program — a global initiative built to drive sales effectiveness at scale through smarter tools, tighter processes, and better data.My work sits at the intersection of people, process, and technology. I specialize in building the infrastructure that helps sales teams perform — from tool integrations and AI evaluations to reporting frameworks, SOPs, and operational mechanisms that scale across regions. This includes reviewing and implementing AI tools and services that directly enhance how our sales teams prospect, prioritize, and execute.With 10+ years of experience spanning technology, customer success, and operations, I bring a cross-functional perspective and a bias toward building things that last. I\'m at my best when the problem is complex, the stakes are real, and clarity needs to be created from scratch.
