What is your role at Amazon?
I have a dual-role at Amazon Australia; I am the General Manager of our Fashion business which includes Clothing, Shoes, Accessories and Luggage and in my other role I lead the centralized Category Marketing team that supports the Amazon Australia consumer businesses.
I am responsible for leading the sustainable growth of the Fashion business unit with a focus on customer experience innovations and expanding our breadth and depth of brands we carry. In the marketing space my team obsesses over our customers and how we can deliver a best-in-class online shopping experience.
“I intentionally design my life to create space to focus on what matters to me and I work hard to spend my energy on creating more balance of female voices in the world which will result in big and meaningful change.”
How did you find your way into this industry? Share your career journey to this point.
I started at Amazon in the United States as a Graphic Designer 15.5 years ago. I majored in Graphic Design at University, so this was my dream job! After 3 months as a designer, I was asked to make the first of many career “swerves” at Amazon and made the move to Marketing. I’ve progressed through the leadership track at Amazon by working in 3 continents (US, Europe, Australia), 4 different industries (Home Improvement, Movies & TV entertainment, Sports and Fashion) and 4 different functions (designer, marketer, head of buying, and now General Manager and Head of Marketing in AU).
“I am a very curious person and aspire to continually grow and be a genuine leader who inspires others to grow, so together we make game-changing impact on the world.”
