I’m excited to give my small contribution to the @DoorDash team as the company continues to expand both domestically and internationally. The quality of the team is world-class and they are a great example of operational excellence. It will be a fun ride!.

Thank you @jdcivicscience and the team at @CivicScience for allowing me to share my experience as a civil servant, trying to help government services to become more efficient (I admit, the bar is low. ).
New episode of Dumbest Guy in the Room dropped with guest Diego Piacentini, investor and former .@amazon executive. @diegopia and host @jdcivicscience talk about how governments can tackle problems, what makes America unique on the world stage, and more ➡️

.@wireditalia mi ha chiesto di aprire il numero sulle startup europee. La creazione di un sistema imprenditoriale di successo dipende da diversi fattori. Il circolo virtuoso generato dal venture capital aiuta, ma alla base ci sono le “unreasonable people”.

Delivering goods is essential to our lives but it's still one of the most inefficient and polluting activities in a country. And it's still mostly analog. @convoyteam is changing that. Still a long way to go but the impact is visible. Thank you @daniellewis.
Today we announced a $260M raise for Convoy! I was asked, is this because of the truck driver shortage? This is a common question. My answer is no, I do not believe we have a shortage of truck drivers. We're short in other areas. Here goes. 1/.

Government modernization requires scaling digital skills. So Amazon #AWSinstitute and @apoliticalco have teamed up to develop an exciting – and free – online learning opportunity for 1,000 public servants working on government digital transformation. Apply

“That honour goes to Italy. Not for the prowess of its footballers, who won Europe’s big trophy, nor its pop stars, who won the Eurovision song contest, but for its politics.”. Leadership matters!.
The winner we chose acquired a competent, respected prime minister in 2021. It has a high covid vaccination rate and its economy is recovering more speedily than those of its neighbours

Thanks @drose_999. When I started reading the thread I thought “oh s. , what did I do wrong?”. Because indeed I learned the hard way myself from a great boss and some great colleagues. I miss that truth seeking environment!.
In 2004 I had an offer to join the new Kindle team at Amzn and I jumped at the oppty. I was on our retail team at the time -> Kindle was new/sexy. But a week before I was scheduled to start my new job, I was told to stay put and I learned an important lesson. Here’s the story:.

Incontrai @lucasofri 20 anni fa durante questa intervista a Jeff Bezos. 10 anni dopo ho aderito con entusiasmo al suo progetto. @ilpost è ora un riferimento autorevole per chi cerca contenuti “spiegati bene”. E i lettori soddisfatti possono anche pagare!.

Amazon wouldn’t be even close to what it is without your twenty years of leadership @jeffawilke. Plain simple. And the transition will be remarkably smooth because great leaders create great succession plans.

February 2000: you patiently read a PowerPoint deck (ouch!) on international expansion. Since then you have been my best teacher and mentor @jeffawilke.
After more than 20 years at Amazon, it’s time for me to make way for new leaders to take the reins at this remarkable company.

Proud of being a board member and investor in @apoliticalco. If you work in government you should know about it: a learning network now in 170 countries. Check out how they are supporting public servants during #COVID19:
