Background

About Anush Vasudevan

Managing a team of talented engineers build and support core services that enhance brand experiences at Amazon. As a strategic, influential financial technology executive, I empower teams to identify solutions that promote end-user satisfaction, facilitate organizational growth, and drive cost savings. Over the course of my career, I’ve distinguished myself as a visionary, detail-oriented leader who devises successful strategies, aligns teams efficiently and effectively through clear communication, and creates cultures of continuous improvement. Prior to Amazon, I served as vice president of research and development at Lucinity, a global anti-money laundering (AML) software startup. In this role, I develop the organizational structure, operational infrastructure, and hiring criteria, and oversee business functions, including engineering, development, and operations. Prior to this, I served in several other senior-level finance and technology roles at Citi and Oracle Financial Services Software. I’ve made significant contributions throughout my career, including: • Leading Lucinity through several funding rounds from seed to Series B; interfaced with potential investors to provide due diligence detail and build interest in the company’s mission. • Directing the end-to-end development and release process for 5 new anti-money-laundering and compliance products at Lucinity. • Driving a 15% year-over-year increase in efficiency, improving time-to-market by 50%, and optimizing Citi’s data accuracy by implementing modernized artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms into existing systems. • Transforming the employee culture in Citi’s Trade and Treasury Service technology division, significantly improving the employee experience and reducing attrition by 80%. I’m quite excited to be at the small big startup that amazon is! Day 1 all the way!
