Matt Garman

Matt Garman is the CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's dominant cloud infrastructure provider, where he oversees a business generating well over $100 billion in annualized revenue and serving millions of customers globally. Appointed CEO in 2024, Garman has moved quickly to position AWS at the center of the enterprise AI revolution, accelerating investments in custom silicon (Trainium, Inferentia), generative AI services (Amazon Bedrock), and the cloud infrastructure that underpins the modern AdTech stack — from real-time bidding platforms and data clean rooms to identity resolution and audience analytics. Garman joined Amazon in 2006 as an intern and rose through the ranks over nearly two decades, holding senior leadership roles across AWS including SVP of Sales, Marketing, and Global Services. His deep operational experience across both the technical and go-to-market sides of AWS gives him a rare dual perspective on how cloud infrastructure translates into business outcomes. Under his leadership, AWS has deepened partnerships with major advertising platforms, media companies, and AdTech vendors that rely on AWS for scalable, low-latency compute and data services. In the AdTech context, Garman's AWS is foundational infrastructure for a vast swath of the industry — from DSPs and SSPs to CDPs and measurement providers. His push into enterprise AI and managed SaaS services is reshaping how advertisers and agencies think about data activation, identity, and real-time decisioning at scale. Garman is a Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management alumnus and is widely regarded as one of the most consequential technology executives shaping the future of cloud-powered advertising and marketing infrastructure.
