Garman, 48, first joined Amazon as an intern in 2005 when he was a student at Northwestern's business school. An engineer by training, with industrial engineering degrees from Stanford, Garman went on to spend the next decade-plus running technical teams at AWS.
In 2020, Garman took on a new role as AWS's sales and marketing chief, a move that surprised some people, according to a former executive who worked closely with him. Garman wasn't the best public speaker and didn't seem polished in front of customers, this person said. His blunt feedback and sometimes negative remarks about customers in internal discussions made other salespeople uncomfortable.
Garman essentially had to learn how to be a better salesman, this person said. The people who spoke with BI about Garman asked not to be identified so they could freely discuss his abilities.
Garmin with an 'a' instead of an 'i'.
Did Selipsky get no RSU grants for 2025 and then decide to leave?
