- Matt Garman leads AWS with 11 executives amid rising cloud and AI competition.
- Garman, an Amazon veteran, became AWS's CEO in June, succeeding Adam Selipsky.
- Julia White, formerly of SAP and Microsoft, is the latest addition as AWS's chief marketing officer.
A leaked Amazon Web Services organizational chart shows the 11 executives helping its new CEO, Matt Garman, lead the unit through a period of intense competition in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Garman, an 18-year veteran of AWS, became its CEO in June. He took over from Adam Selipsky, who led the unit for three years after AWS's previous CEO, Andy Jassy, was promoted to run all of Amazon.
Garman, who previously ran AWS sales and marketing, made a few changes to the cloud business when he took over, including combining global sales teams.
Since then, the biggest change to Garman's team has been the hiring of Julia White as chief marketing officer.
Here are the 11 executives who report to Garman:
Julia White: vice president, Worldwide AWS Marketing
White joined AWS in November. She was most recently the chief marketing and solutions officer at SAP. Before that, she spent nearly two decades at Microsoft in roles including corporate vice president of product marketing for the Azure cloud unit.
"Julia will join my leadership team and further develop and execute our global marketing strategy, playing a pivotal part in AWS's growth," Garman wrote in an email announcing her appointment.
Peter DeSantis: senior vice president, AWS Utility Computing
DeSantis was one of the first AWS employees and played a critical role in building up its technology. He's a member of Jassy's senior leadership team at Amazon, called the "S-team."
DeSantis took over utility computing in 2021 when Charlie Bell, considered one of the founders of the cloud unit, left for Microsoft.
Prasad Kalyanaraman: vice president, AWS Infrastructure Services, Infrastructure Leadership
Kalyanaraman, who has spent nearly 20 years at Amazon, took over infrastructure and network services for DeSantis when Bell left.
Colleen Aubrey: senior vice president, AWS Solutions
Aubrey has spent nearly 20 years at Amazon but switched to AWS in May, around the time Selipsky left. She leads the AWS unit responsible for business applications. Aubrey is a member of Jassy's S-team.
