As you all know, I'm #divingdeep into startups! It's a recent discovery & new passion of mine because of the brilliance I encounter each day with CEO's, Entrepreneur's, and practitioner's. I #learn everyday from them! That's why I took on the role of 'Head of Technology for North America' for the #Startup division at #Amazon #AWS.

For startups, scaling isn’t just about growth—it’s about growing efficiently. 🌱 AI is becoming a key tool in that process, helping teams automate workflows, optimize operations, and make better use of their resources. Azure AI Agent Service makes it easier to integrate AI-driven automation into startup operations, allowing teams to focus on what matters—building and scaling smarter.

I'm thrilled and honored to be featured on AWS Startups Tuesday Tips (the first ever). When asked about my favorite AWS service or feature tip, the first thing that came to mind was Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock. Over the past few months, I've been working closely with customers in the startup ecosystem, and they've found Knowledge Bases incredibly useful and easy for securely connecting foundation models (FMs) in Amazon Bedrock to their company data for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock has become my personal favorite as well. It simplifies the process of integrating large language models with external knowledge sources, enabling the creation of powerful RAG models that can retrieve relevant information from various data sources and generate accurate and contextual responses. What makes Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock stand out is its ability to maintain data privacy and access controls while allowing users to ask questions on sensitive documents. This secure and controlled environment is crucial for startups and enterprises dealing with proprietary or confidential data. https://lnkd.in/gXRGgWQm Thank You Chalaire M. for the feature. #innovation #aws #generatieveai #amazonbedrock #bedrock #genai
