May is Global Month of Volunteering (GMV) here at Amazon. During May, tens of thousands of Amazonians will come together to volunteer for causes they’re passionate about to positively impact the communities where our employees live and work. 👏 Last year, Amazon employees from 51 countries participated in GMV, supporting more than 1,200 organizations and volunteering in 4,500 events. This year, Amazonians are participating in a variety of volunteer initiatives – from home food delivery services and back-to-school donations to hygiene kit building, literacy tutoring, habitat restorations, and more. We employ more than 1.4 million people across dozens of countries, and we believe our employees’ passion, ideas, and volunteer efforts can make a positive impact on our communities. Amazonians, make sure you are signed up for a volunteer event! ✅ What causes are you passionate about? 🔽 🧡

Why do we call our Amazon Web Services (AWS) employees “builders”? Because they code? Not quite (plus, not all AWS employees code). It’s because builders like to invent and reinvent, they have their ear to the ground to listen to customers, and they’re motivated to continually improve and expand what’s possible. And that’s what our AWS employees do: innovate to provide world-leading cloud technologies that help more organizations and individuals build solutions to transform industries, communities, and lives for the better. Last month, our builders got together at our HQ1 campus in Seattle for an AWS global meeting, which included a CEO address by Adam Selipsky, an awards ceremony, and a fireside chat with the co-founders of AI animation startup, Krikey AI. Thank you to all of our builders out there! We’re so excited about what you’re up to! 💻 👏

Not all heroes wear capes...some wear cat T-shirts. Meet Tom Scholl. Tom is very serious about two things: 1) internet security and 2) cats.
