As the Worldwide Leader for Emerging Technologies for Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS, I focus on solving the most significant challenges facing “safety-regulated” industries. I’ve been a key contributor in developing cloud-to-vehicle “environmental parity” architectures, playing a significant role in shaping the auto industry’s move towards software-defined vehicles. This transition helps enable more efficient development of autonomous functionalities, mobility fleet solutions, and delightful user experiences by automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and software vendors.

I bring over 20 years of expertise in IoT, cloud and vehicle architectures, Human-Machine Interaction systems, and software development and tooling. Before joining AWS, I built world-class innovative teams and startups, including co-founding a European leading company focused on Interaction Engineering. I’m a governing body member of SOAFEE and serve as the host of AWS’s All Things Automotive video series, which seeks to help demystify automotive technologies and how the cloud helps enable the industry to bring new features to drivers. At CES 2024 I’ve been recognized as a “Software-Defined Vehicle Innovator” by MotorTrend.
