Episode #88: With Julie Eisemann, Former Director of Mobility at Amazon: Be the CEO of Your Role: Inside Amazon’s Mobility Strategy

What is the CEO Mental Model at Amazon? How did Amazon scale its Mobility function during hypergrowth? Why does fragmented data undermine trust in Mobility teams? What risks do Mobility leaders underestimate when planning large-scale change? How does treating Mobility as a product change outcomes? In this episode 88, Paul speaks with Julie Eisemann, former Amazon director turned founder and mobility strategist, about what it really takes to lead Global Mobility with ownership and clarity. Julie is known for scaling global mobility programs to support up to 500,000 employees and delivering more than $230M in workforce efficiencies during her time at Amazon. She brings deep operational experience across immigration, relocation, and mobility strategy, alongside a strong focus on culture, belonging, and designing mobility functions that are fit for the future.  Together, Paul and Julie explore what it means to be the CEO of your role in global mobility, why fragmented data undermines trust and decision-making, and how treating mobility as a product rather than a service changes outcomes. They also reflect on the risks leaders underestimate when driving change, and the lessons that only emerge when operating in complex environments.We hope you enjoy :)
