About Tony Lenzi
Building high-performing teams is what I do best. Across my career at Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, and Capital One, I have found my greatest satisfaction in the human side of leadership, finding the right people, unlocking their potential, and turning groups of talented individuals into organizations that genuinely love what they do. I think beyond the team and beyond the roadmap, connecting engineering decisions to business outcomes and staying curious about what technology makes possible next. I have rebuilt teams that had lost their way, grown leaders who did not yet know they were leaders, and built the systems and culture that consistently turn talented people into outsized organizational impact.
