• Strong application modernization track record on AWS (the primary focus of this role): re-architecting monoliths and legacy apps (.
NET, Java, mainframe) into microservices, containers (EKS, ECS)



and serverless (Lambda, Step Functions), API-first and event-driven designs, and AI-assisted code modernization.
• Proven track record of growing AWS revenue and pipeline through co-sell, partner funding and programs such as MAP.
• Hands-on depth in wider AWS architecture: data platforms (Redshift, Glue, Lake Formation, EMR), security and governance, and cloud migration (rehost and replatform) as a secondary skill.

• Commercial ownership: thinks in pipeline, margin and partner leverage, not only architecture.
• Hands-on credibility: can whiteboard a Bedrock agent design as easily as present to a CIO.
• Collaborative: works across pillars and with the Microsoft practice rather than in silos. Why Sonata
• Build a pillar from the ground up, reporting directly to the CTO.
• Shape Sonata's AWS and Anthropic strategy at a time when agentic AI is redefining modernization.
