Jamie Siminoff has rejoined Amazon as a vice president more than two years after his departure. In this role, he oversees teams for Ring, Blink, Amazon Key, and Sidewalk. He replaces Liz Hamren, who successfully led the teams during his absence. Siminoff expressed excitement about the current 'AI transformation' as a rare opportunity and discussed the potential for creating integrated experiences with Amazon's devices, emphasizing the importance of ensuring customer safety and connectivity through these advancements. This strategic return marks a significant moment for Amazon's device ecosystem.
In the Q&A, Siminoff also says that he and Panos Panay, Amazon's SVP of devices and services, have talked 'a lot' about 'experiences we can create with devices that are awesome on their own, but even better together.'
Siminoff is replacing Liz Hamren, who had taken over following Siminoff's initial departure. Hamren and the team 'have done an awesome job driving the business, delivering strong results, and bringing a lot of delightful experiences to neighbors,' Siminoff says in an Amazon Q&A.
He adds that the 'AI transformation happening right now' is a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity.'
The company announced late last year that he would be moving into an advisory role in 2025.
