About Shatra Hanson

I’m a Senior Corporate Counsel at Amazon with ten years of experience helping product, engineering, and business teams build and launch new technologies. I work as a full-stack product counsel—supporting everything from product strategy and regulatory questions to data use, marketing, and complex commercial agreements.My background spans AI, smart vehicles, and consumer tech, and I enjoy jumping into fast-moving areas where the legal landscape is still taking shape. I rely on my engineering roots (aerospace) and general nerdiness to understand how things work and translate that into clear, practical guidance.I like being involved early, finding solutions that help teams move forward, and building the legal frameworks that support long-term, scalable decisions. Above all, I aim to be a collaborative, pragmatic partner who helps great ideas become real products.

Experience

1. Senior Corporate Counsel - Alexa Ai

   May 2025 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   Thanks to the multitudinous wonders of AGI, I plan to just ask Alexa+ if it\'s legally compliant and call it a day. Nothing could go wrong.
