We’re back this week, this time with the fearless leader of our Business team and AWS veteran, Joe Minarik, Director, AWS Data Center Supply..
This episode is where the rubber meets the road, where the cloud meets the dirt. The data center growth strategy of every AWS region on the planet resides within Joe’s 120+ person team. 
He brings us some cool stories from the early days at AWS going all the way back to 2005 when it was just an internal product for Amazon, to the launch of Asia Pacific, up to the present day. We also talk about what it takes to be successful at AWS, why it’s important to focus on your strengths, boating, race car driving, and making things better.
Joe shares his wealth of experience in the cloud computing space and his great approach to simply wanting to make things better. Instant classic.
