About Sandy Carter

Distinguished career holding leadership positions as a Chief Operations Officer, Chief Marketing, Chief Sales, Channel Chief, and Chief Product Officer working for two Fortune 100 companies – AWS and IBM. My background is unique since very few executives have experience working in all these different c-level roles. I’ve been a pioneer at the forefront of AI innovation. Working at IBM, I contributed to the development of Watson ecosystem including Cloud, AI and IoT and helped participate in the introduction of the industry's inaugural business model for the AI ecosystem. I played a pivotal role in shaping the direction of the ecosystem in the AI, IoT, and Cloud focus. I am passionate about collaborating with partners and delivering value to customers. This is how I make a difference. Serving as a top executive at AWS, I collaborated directly with c-level customers and partners. I gained invaluable insights into their Cloud, AI, and overall tech needs and challenges, leading to the development of innovative AI business solutions. I credit my amazing teams with all our success. They are the people who make everything happen. I may provide the direction, strategy, coaching, and overview, but it is the team members who produce the innovations, make the breakthroughs, and develop emerging technology like AI into new products with industry-changing reach. I’ve held Board of Director positions and currently sit on the Altair Board. I’m truly humbled by the numerous awards recognizing my work achievements. Some of the prestigious awards include: The AI Executive Champion of the Year from WLDA, Business Transformational Leader of the Year, CNN Top 10 Women in Tech, Top 10 Leader in Responsible AI, and Most Influential Sales Leader
