Benjamin Chung reposted thisBenjamin Chung reposted thisEV Charging: The Retail Opportunity We're Overlooking? I've been thinking a lot about how we approach EV charging in retail. Traditionally, the market sees it as a necessary commodity. But is it actually an untapped opportunity to enhance our customer experience? Here's what I've been exploring: Charging time as retail consumer engagement time Extending brand beyond the store walls New data streams for better decision-making Unexpected avenues for fostering loyalty I've put together some thoughts on this in a blog post (link in comments). It's not about selling a solution, but about starting a conversation on where our industry might be headed. What's your take? Are you seeing EV charging differently in your operations? Curious to hear your insights. After all, innovation in retail often comes from our collective wisdom. #RetailInnovation #EVCharging #CustomerExperience Electric Era https://lnkd.in/gQGryykA

Benjamin Chung shared thisSure, Zoe W. is making Twitch amazing - but really, she has that elevating effect on everyone she meets! I interviewed Zoe nearly four years ago and haven't stopped learning from her since she responded to, "So, tell me about yourself". Here's to hoping you get to meet or work with Zoe in the near future. Reduce that degree of separation by one and connect!Benjamin Chung shared thisAs we celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting some of the women who make Twitch amazing: meet Zoe! Hi! My name is Zoe Willis and I’m a Program Manager on the Twitch Music Operations team. I started working in music at the University of Southern California, where I booked and produced music festivals for students on campus. I’ve always loved being a part of fan communities, and when I saw that Twitch had a strong commitment to helping artists build communities of their own, I knew I wanted to join the team. Currently, I enable Twitch to acquire new music creators at scale. I partner with cross-functional teams like Marketing, Legal, PR, and Product to help empower artists to develop their communities and earn a living doing what they love. I also really enjoy working with partners to come up with content ideas; it allows me to get creative! I’m a member of both the Black Guild and Women+ Guild. I joined Twitch during the lockdown, so being a Guild member has helped me meet other employees and immerse myself in Twitch's culture, even though we’re not in the office. I love participating in events the Guilds host like speakers, panels and even cooking classes! Fun Fact: I’m currently taking Japanese language lessons! #womenshistorymonth2021 #twitch #lifeattwitch

Tiktok has no idea how lucky they are! Congratulations, George. Feel free to name the lifelong friend(s) that made the good times even better, bonus points if they were your neighbor and consistently smoked you in golf.
Can't wait to see what you do and congratulations again!

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisBenjamin Chung reacted on thisSix years ago, I started gathering thoughts about the moments that quietly shape our lives. They became blog posts. They became podcast conversations. Eventually, they became a book. Yesterday, Magic in the Moment officially became available on Amazon. I didn't write it because I think people need another productivity system or self-improvement formula. I wrote it because I believe our lives change in surprisingly ordinary moments—the conversation we almost rush through, the breath we almost forget to take, the choice to become curious instead of reactive. If this book helps even a handful of people experience a little more presence, compassion, or peace in their everyday lives, it will have done exactly what I hoped. Thank you to everyone who encouraged, edited, questioned, challenged, and believed in this project along the way. If you're interested, I'd be honored if you'd take a look. https://lnkd.in/gNwsybdD

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisBenjamin Chung reacted on thisOne of our CSMs, Sarah Mandel, built a whole onboarding app for our customers, unprompted, in a couple of hours. She created a self-paced course with two tracks. Videos, tests, links to all of our primitives. When a new stakeholder joins an account or a new signup comes in, she triggers an automation that sends them the link. We can't be in every room, so she solved that herself. She built it on our AI inference gateway, and it's hosted on Netlify so she can keep tweaking it whenever she wants. She's now working with our learning team to add more content, but that first version, the whole dual-track course, was her idea and her build. That's the part I keep coming back to - there was no ticket, no project pitch, no waiting for engineering capacity. She had an idea on a Tuesday and shipped it. Our CS org used to rely on data teams for static dashboards, and a new field meant a ticket sitting in a queue for three to six weeks. Now, they add fields with an agent run. They've built their own customer agent, their own usage dashboard, their own health scoring. Renewal rates are up about 17 points, and last quarter was our highest renewal quarter in three years. The shift I care about isn't everyone becoming a developer. It's the distance between understanding a problem and shipping a solution getting short enough that the person who understands it gets to be the one who solves it. That changes a team's efficiency, sure. But what I'm most impressed by is how it changes its ambition.

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisBenjamin Chung reacted on thisIn my previous life as a practicing software engineer, we took a Fortune 200 eCommerce site from 10 to 110,000 deployments a year. It wasn't hard to see your impact - check some code in, wait a little bit, and check the KPIs. As an AWS Solutions Architect, our contributions to customer outcomes often aren't as direct. Today, though, was a great day. Lauren Woods took the stage at our New York Summit with Swami Sivasubramanian and told the world about the great work our teams have done together. In eight minutes (and 43 seconds, if you're "Amazon Precise"), she told us about enabling teams with Amazon Quick, modernizing Crew Operations and southwest.com with Kiro, and enabling all new ways of working with AI-DLC. Southwest Airlines is transforming themselves while modernizing their technology - and they aren't prioritizing one over the other - they're doing them in parallel - at the same time. As Lauren said on stage, they're moving "hella quick." HUGE thanks to the team at Southwest Airlines - Lauren Woods, Courtnie Nix, Rachel Salvagio, and Angela Lynch for trusting us as partners in this work - your trust is what energizes me every single day. And thanks, too, to the AWS Keynote team - Jessica Mora, Joanna Walters, and all the other extraordinarily bar-raising storytellers. I'm here because storytellers like you inspired me - and thousands of others - to build.

Benjamin Chung liked thisBenjamin Chung liked thisWhen I introduced the term "Agent Experience" at our sales kickoff last year, Michelle was the one who said, "We have to roll this out now." The whole company was skeptical, but Michelle knows when to jump on an opportunity. She was contracting with us on PR and communications at the time and joined the sales kickoff in Denver on her own initiative. When I presented AX as our new product direction, something that was still a concept and a vision, way earlier than most people "got" it, she started putting in extra hours outside her contract to help me and Sean Roberts formalize it and get it out - both externally and internally. It wasn't a thing yet. There was a lot of questioning internally about what it would mean for the GTM motion - for everything. But Michelle didn't wait for it to be proven. She recognized why it mattered, was bought in, and pushed it forward. I realized we needed her in a larger capacity, and asked her to come on full-time. As our VP of Marketing, she's helping shape the whole new bottom-up motion. The organization she helped transform was used to speaking enterprise language, focused on ABM and top-down composable DXP marketing. Michelle helped turn it into a team that just did 7 major feature launches in 6 weeks, all oriented directly around developers and builders, which is now driving the strongest PLG motion we've ever had. She's already building the next layer: a build-in-public community where any kind of builder succeeds with AI and Netlify. Sometimes the most important hire is the person who sees what you see before anyone else does. Couldn't be happier to get to build together, Michelle.

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisBenjamin Chung reacted on thisToday I'm stepping in as co-CEO of Amperity alongside Kabir Shahani, with Amy Kelleran Pelly expanding her role to President & CFO. I've spent the last several years in the trenches with AI, shaping _what_ we build and more recently _how_ we build. I've watched this technology go from interesting to transformative in real time, with a front row seat at the center of where it matters most: customer data. Amperity has built an incredible foundation over the past decade: trusted identity, unified customer profiles, enterprise-grade data at scale, first class activation. This is exactly the infrastructure the AI era runs on. I've never been more excited about the opportunity to help our customers deliver world class experiences, accelerating the value of the data foundation via agentic marketing. I'm thrilled to be doing this with Kabir, Amy, and one of the most talented teams I've ever been around. LFG!

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisBenjamin Chung reacted on thisI'm thrilled to share that I've started a new chapter as a Strategic Account Executive at Nebius. The deeper I looked, the more excited I got. What really sold me is how much of the stack Nebius owns and tunes itself, from the silicon up. They design their own hardware, build the cloud software that runs on it, and engineer every layer in between: the GPU clusters, the networking, all the way up to the tools developers actually use to train, fine-tune, and ship their models. Nothing is bolted on as an afterthought and it's all built to work together for AI. That's rare, and it's a big part of why I wanted in. In today's climate, directly helping companies turn their biggest AI ambitions into reality, is exactly the work I want to be doing right now. Truly excited to be on this rocket ship 🚀 🚀

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisToday is my last day at Amazon Web Services (AWS) after 11 years. From designing marketing materials as an intern, to building teams across the US, Asia, and Europe, I've spent the last decade growing up professionally inside this company. Amazon's peculiar culture is permanently woven into how I work. The bias for writing, the relentless curiosity, and the obsession with working backwards are things I'll carry with me. None of this would be possible without people who chose to invest their time, patience, and trust in me. I'm grateful for every leader, mentor, and colleague who helped shape this chapter. I'll be winding down for a few weeks before taking on a new role at Datadog to build, operationalize, and scale their Public Sector Partner programs. Looking forward to building from the ground up.

Benjamin Chung reacted on thisBenjamin Chung reacted on thisAfter an incredible chapter at AWS, I've experienced my last Day 1. I'm leaving with enormous respect and gratitude for the teams I worked alongside, the problems we solved together, and everything I learned along the way. A special thank you to the managers I reported to who supported and developed me, Meagan Darlington and Helen Har Theisen, and to my peers who made the day-to-day better in every way: Benjamin Chung, Quanteer Williams, Josh Erickson, Nathan Pauli, Christina Pritchett, Mark Lentell, and Jarrian James. And to all the reps on the teams I had the privilege of leading, thank you for your trust, your hard work, and everything you taught me. I'm joining a company I'm genuinely excited about, and I'll share more when the moment's right. Until then, thank you to everyone who made this experience what it was. Don't be a stranger. Let's stay in touch.
