About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    If you've known me for some time, you know that I like a good company survey. They can be a periscope, rising us up out of our echo chambers to tell us what people really think.   As the leader of Communications & Corporate Responsibility, I am particularly fond of the surveys that get at how people feel about the company broadly – what we offer to consumers and businesses, but also our communities, the planet, partners (think SMBs) and our employees.   Last year, Forbes introduced a new survey called “Forbes Most Trusted Companies in America” that analyzes 1,500 companies across multiple factors, including employee satisfaction, consumer trust, financial performance, and public sentiment. In last year’s list, we didn't rank so our team made sure that Forbes saw Amazon as both a tech and retail company (they previously only viewed us as a retailer), and that they knew about all the good things we were doing for customers, employees, and our communities.   Forbes came out with the new 2026 yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier and more proud to report that Amazon ranked #2 on Forbes' Most Trusted Companies in America. This recognition is the result of the work our teams do every day to live the CCR Vision, ensuring that our customers’ lives, communities, and the planet are better because of Amazon, and that people know about it.   Very grateful for all our teammates do every day to help the company earn this level of trust, which might be the most valuable asset we have as a company. Thank you for all that you do to help us earn and keep that trust. https://lnkd.in/e9Svw-tz

    Pretty much every Amazon project starts with a code name. Echo was “Doppler,” our first Kindle was “Fiona,” and our EC2 network device project was “Blackfoot,” after the penguins our AWS team saw while doing the work in Cape Town. For our satellite network, it was “Project Kuiper,” and today, we’re introducing the permanent name: Amazon Leo—for the low Earth orbit (or LEO) constellation that powers the whole thing. Team’s made lots of progress (150+ satellites up, >1 Gbps speeds, customers signing on) and am excited for the difference Leo will make for the ~500 million households, and millions of enterprises, orgs, and governments who need it. https://lnkd.in/g6QgJwFQ

Built hand-in-glove with Anthropic, Project Rainier features nearly 500,000 Trainium 2 chips, delivering over five times the compute power Anthropic used for its previous models. Anthropic is already using Project Rainier to train and run inference for Claude, its industry-leading AI model. By year’s end, Claude is expected to be running on more than 1 million Trainium 2 chips across Anthropic’s direct usage and Amazon Bedrock.
