Treadwell will lead AWS's compute and machine learning at AI inflection point. He says Amazon's writing culture and data-driven decision making won him over. He considers AI a bigger moment than computers, the internet, mobile phones, and cloud computing. When Dave Treadwell graduated from Princeton in 1989 with a degree in electrical engineering, he didn’t know he’d soon be coding one of the most consequential computer operating systems in history.

AWS Distinguished Engineer Paul Vixie started the first anti-spam company and helped scale the Domain Name System, which makes it possible to type web addresses as names instead of numbers. Vixie created the first neutral commercial internet exchange in the U.S.—infrastructure that enabled early internet commerce and connectivity. Vixie is now helping to advance security at AWS by identifying ways to protect against AI-enabled threats.
