About John Rossman - Former Amazon Executive - Business Strategist

Keynote Topics

Leadership is a skill. Culture is the default standard defining how we work together. How can you build on your leadership and culture to drive systematic growth & innovation? Based on the best-selling The Amazon Way: Amazon’s Leadership Principles, Rossman outlines a set of strategies and tactics, giving a playbook for any industry or situation to make small changes resulting in significant impact. Customer centricity, metrics and operational excellence, a system for innovation, Amazon’s “working backwards” methodology, disagree but commit, and deliver hard results are just some of the leadership playbook with habits to reinforce and create change.

“Bold Moves & Winning in the Age of AI” is a riveting keynote speech that delves into the dynamics of leadership and decision-making in the AI-driven world. Leveraging insights from “Big Bet Leadership,” the presentation illuminates the path to making audacious and calculated strategic moves that can propel organizations to new heights. This is the playbook to become a transformative leader! We dissect real-life examples, showcasing how Big Bet Legends have three critical habits differentiating them from the pack. Attendees leave with a renewed sense of purpose, armed with actionable strategies and a deep understanding of how to lead boldly and win in the age of AI.
Is your organization ready to create the future of your company and industry? Leaders who want to drive innovation must ask this while challenging conventional thinking if they want to have a future in their industry. But what are the right questions to ask to create that future? How do we develop our strategy? How can we anticipate industry disruption, and how we adapt? Former Amazon Executive John Rossman was a key leader in launching and scaling the third-party platform which today accounts for over 50% of Amazon’s business, leading to fundamental disruption to the retail industry. By leveraging many of the ideas from Think Like Amazon, Rossman provides principles and strategies which drove Amazon and can drive your industry’s future. He will challenge your team and provide them with strategies, tools, and questions to help you begin creating your company’s future.
Your supply prices and lead times are rising, your employee wages are increasing, transportation is getting more expensive, and critical components (like chips) might be in short supply. Your COGS and your P&L are a mess. Your world and business might feel like it’s in crisis. This is a leadership choice — waste time worrying about what’s happening or plan to survive and thrive in the volatile market? John delivers an engaging story explaining how challenging traditional thinking and management science can help you maximize the value of a good crisis and guide you to innovate and strengthen your business. Volatile markets and uncertainty lead most organizations to cut, run and stick their head in the sand until the storm passes. You’ll learn how it is the ideal time to go on offense by focusing on rapid innovation and finding immediate ROI opportunities to improve operational effectiveness. Audience members leave with practical theory, examples, tools, and techniques to help them build better strategies, plans, and solutions so they never waste a good crisis.
