Summary
Jothirnadh Guthula is a strategic technical leader and Program Manager with over 10 years of experience building and scaling geospatial programs for logistics and mapping at Amazon and Mapbox. He has repeatedly delivered high-impact initiatives—designing a data ingestion framework and geospatial models that together unlocked over $140M in annual savings and improved address coverage across nine geographies. A specialist in maps, OpenStreetMap, and GIS operationalization, he scaled QC teams from dozens to hundreds, cut validation SLAs from 15 days to 48 hours, and launched numerous navigation features used in production. He blends program leadership with hands-on data and ML collaboration, acting as an AI Ambassador to upskill teams and integrate models into operational workflows. Based in Hyderabad, he combines academic training in Geo-Informatics with community engagement in OSM, uniquely positioning him to bridge external mapping communities and large-scale enterprise delivery. Not obvious from titles alone: he’s equally comfortable authoring SOPs and SQL-powered dashboards as he is resolving community PR concerns and driving cross-org change.
