About Rui Gao

As a Senior Product Manager Technical at Amazon, I manage the whole product lifecycle from requirement gathering, design review, tech development, testing, to product launch and go to market. In collaboration with software engineering, sales, marketing, data scientists, and operations, I drive delivery of system solutions rapidly that improve shipper shopping experience, optimize scheduling, transportation planning and execution. I have extensive experience in supply chain across procurement, warehousing, and logistics through my past work on contract negotiation, vendor engagement, TMS consolidation, product roadmap management, and machine learning models. With a deep understanding of systems, people, and processes, I seek opportunities to continue to grow in the field of Supply Chain by harnessing the power of technology. An entrepreneur at heart, I am a creative problem solver who is self-driven, committed to lifelong learning and with strong people skills.
