About Rishi Mehrotra

I enjoy solving the \"Growth vs. Friction\" paradox. Whether it’s security, infrastructure, or AI, I build foundational platforms that allow global enterprises to innovate at scale without compromising on safety, governance or user trust.With over 20 years of technical depth and a UChicago Booth MBA, I bridge the gap between complex engineering architectures and high-impact business outcomes. At AWS, I lead a multi-year program that transforms how the world’s largest organizations manage data and identity in the cloud. Currently, I own the product definition and execution of a multi-year AWS-wide program Data Perimeters, which is transforming how the world’s largest organizations manage data and identity in the cloud. My focus is on building foundational security capabilities—like resource control policies (RCPs)—that abstract away technical complexity by centrally applying preventive controls so developers can innovate safely at scale.My Product Philosophy- Building for High-Scale Complexity: I thrive in \"0-to-1\" environments where I can abstract away technical complexity. By building \"secure-by-default\" systems, I ensure that the right path for the developer is also the most efficient one- Data-Driven Innovation: I dive deep into customer data to identify friction points. Most recently, I revolutionized the onboarding experience for Amazon Bedrock, driving usage by simplifying legacy configurations into streamlined API keys driven workflows- Strategic Orchestration: Product management is a team sport. I specialize in aligning cross-functional stakeholders—from Engineering and UX to Legal and Sales—to move from ambiguous ideas to mission-critical product launches- Future-Proofing with AI: I am passionate about leveraging LLMs to solve systemic efficiency problems, including architecting GenAI agents to automate complex workflows and accelerate developer velocity.Core Competencies: Product Strategy & Vision | Platform Scale | GTM Strategy | AI/ML Implementation | Cross-Functional Leadership | Stakeholder Management | Operational Excellence | Data-Driven Decision MakingI’m always looking to connect with fellow product managers and innovators building the next generation of scalable platforms.
