Summary
Brian Mitchell is a technology and data leader with over a decade of experience driving cloud adoption, product strategy, and large-scale delivery across AWS and Microsoft. Currently Director, Products & Solutions for AWS Professional Services, he has built and scaled global programs (AWS Data Lab, GenAI Labs) that accelerated customer adoption of analytics, databases, and generative AI while influencing over $1B in recurring revenue. He combines hands-on technical credibility—formerly leading big data migrations, data lake architecture, and enterprise analytics—with people leadership, hiring and directing teams of 160+ across solution architecture, product, and delivery. Known for translating customer feedback into product roadmaps and repeatable engagement frameworks, he’s authored extensive best-practice content and driven hundreds of customer prototyping engagements. Based in Redmond, he bridges enterprise program execution with academic curiosity—his GitHub persona as “Distinguished Engineer, Hacker, Professor” hints that some demo repos intentionally include “bad” code for teaching. He pairs an MBA and a BS in Technology Management with a track record of turning complex data challenges into actionable, revenue-driving solutions.
