MSPs on what they accomplished with Jassy as AWS CEO that might not have otherwise happened …

nCloud’s JT Giri:

“Jassy created trust in the AWS brand – in the technical innovation, the commitment to customers and partners, to market growth and momentum – that allowed us to confidently build a business model and associated growth that is all-in on AWS.”

AllCloud’s Eran Gil:

“AllCloud certainly has benefited from the explosive growth AWS has experienced over the past several years. Andy established a lot of opportunities for a broader ecosystem of AWS, which has enabled an entire set of partners to flourish around the AWS business. The foresight to build out a partner ecosystem early is just one of the many things that separates Jassy from the pack.”

2^nd Watch’s Michael Elliott:

“2^nd Watch was one of the first true cloud-native partners for AWS, enabling large enterprises to migrate to the cloud. Andy Jassy recognized the importance of a strong partner network to enable large enterprises to migrate to the cloud.”
