Phil Le-Brun joined AWS as an Enterprise Strategist and Evangelist in September 2019. In this role, he shares practical lessons from his experiences implementing technology at scale. He uses these lessons to help enterprises succeed in achieving their own cloud-based technology goals to support organisational agility and customer-centricity.
Many enterprises have experienced challenges with cloud strategies and have been weighed down by inertia from multi-sourcing, pricing negotiations, concerns about risk, a tradition of owning data centres, and comfort with the status quo. Phil believes that the real conversation must be around people and culture; about opening doors for teams to rapidly experiment, learn fast, and quickly scale good ideas. A new mindset is required to unleash the talent in enterprises. Phil works with enterprise leaders and their teams to evolve internal cultures and accelerate cloud journeys.
