MEET THE TEAM

Meet Raj, a triple threat with expertise in management, sales, and technology. Raj's tenure at AWS was marked by many achievements, one of which is: he was the only individual ever to have held leadership roles in all three key positions within the AWS account management structure – Customer Success, Sales, and Technology. As Customer Success Manager, Raj demonstrated his exceptional skills by successfully migrating a major insurance company, considered "Too Big to Fail," to the cloud. He played a pivotal role in restoring their operational capabilities and helping them rebuild trust with their own customers and employees. He also led one of the largest financial segment data providers to the cloud and helped secure their $800M+ commitment to AWS, which at the time was the biggest single deal in AWS history. As Global Manager of Solutions Architecture, Raj led a technology team of over 20 individuals. His team focused on providing advisory services and developing solutions for Nonprofit Financial Services and Healthcare customers. Under Raj's guidance, these segments experienced a remarkable 5.5X growth, expanding from a $50 million annual run rate (ARR) to approximately $280 million.  As Account Manager to the Department of Energy (DOE), Raj's direct involvement with DOE labs in the Northwest United States turned AWS into the unquestioned leader of research workloads in the cloud.  He was directly responsible for $30 million in quota over two years and led AWS and the DOE through launching some of the most future-minded research initiatives, which he hopes will someday ultimately improve the quality of life for mankind.
