2023 BEYA (2709) Invent and Simplify: A Deeper Look Into One of Amazon’s Leadership Principles Presented by Amazon Global Robotics

At Amazon, invention and innovation are two sides of the same coin. Both require breaking through the constraints of convention and apparent technical limitations. Invention requires you to imagine a future where things are markedly different, and then to imagine what it would take to get there. Innovation takes an existing process or product and blows apart the constraints that make it behave the way it does today and imagine what it could become. This seminar is an intimate conversation with some of Amazon's top Senior Principal Technologists to discuss their role as individual contributors and how they have used their expertise to invent and innovate to optimize the output for their respective organizations. Speakers: Stephanie LaBoo, Director of Mechatronics Grocery Automation, Amazon Bryan Liles, Senior Principle Engineer, Amazon Joshua Thomas, Regional Director Sub Same Day Business, Amazon Chris Musoke, Director Design Services, Amazon Global Robotics Jovonia Thibert, Director of Mechatronics Grocery Automation, Amazon Tia White, General Manager, Amazon
