About Vinothkumar Narasimhan

I build and scale cloud products that help enterprises, researchers, and engineers do their best work faster. Over the past 10 years at AWS, I\'ve co-founded and launched services like AppStream 2.0, driven triple-digit YoY growth in High-Performance Computing, and shipped features that cut cloud costs for AI/ML customers and HPC customers while training machine learning models or running scientific and engineering simulations. Today, I lead a team of product managers supporting 100+ engineers and a substantial, high-growth AWS service portfolio serving Fortune 100 companies, leading AI/ML and HPC startups, and top research institutions worldwide. Before AWS, I led e-commerce platform products at Sears and built hyperscale banking software at Infosys. I\'m passionate about turning complex technical problems into simple, scalable products that create real customer impact.
