“Always bring your whole self to whatever it is you’re doing.”
Today Sid and I sit down with our old friend, Bunmi Omotowa, Finance Manager on the Insights, Planning, Analytics, & Technology finance team for AWS. Simply put, they tell the C-suite what’s going on in AWS daily. I told you we’ve got important friends.

Very fun and very wise! Please enjoy.
