I advise early-stage startups and work across product, cloud infrastructure, and security. I was one of Amazon’s first hundred employees, starting my career there as a software engineer. I later held senior product and general management roles, including General Manager at Amazon Web Services and VP of Product and Strategy for cloud services at VMware. Most recently, I served as Chief Product Officer at Upwind Security.

I have also worked in product leadership roles at several growth companies, including Zynga. More on my background, including my CV and links to writing, talks, and interviews, is at https://joshuaburgin.io

I serve on advisory boards for early-stage companies and stay involved with nonprofit work, including URJ Camp Kalsman and the Anti-Defamation League. My work with the ADL reflects a long-standing interest in how online behavior translates into real-world harm. Outside of work, I spend time with my family, travel when I can, and take photos of the places and people I come across.
