About Tommy Grommesch

With over 10 years of experience in global enterprise physical security technology development and integration, technical project management, and engineering team leadership at Amazon Web Services, I love to solve problems at the domain level, find creative strategies to get the results needed, and tackle daunting challenges of scaled opportunity that require invention and agility to solve.Passionate about good leadership, I believe that everybody has a role to play in the success of a mission, and that people are irreplaceable, even if you can backfill a role. Collaboration whether as a manager or individual contributor looks very similar to me, because I\'m compelled to do what I can to help everyone I work with have a chance to work hard and enjoy doing what they are great at. Treating people like they belong and have much to offer is central to my high performance expectations of any role I\'ll ever take, and I firmly believe that building business relationships that way is what makes a organization truly competitive.I\'m not sure I\'ll ever want to leave Amazon, but if I did, I would do so only if the hiring team is built on a culture of collaboration to deliver great results responsibly, to the benefit of the team, the customer, humanity, and the planet.
