Seattle: IvyPlus - Amazon Prime, an Insiders View with the Global Head of Amazon Prime Jamil Ghani, AB '99, MBA '04 image

Leading the global Amazon Prime business, Jamil oversees product, technology, marketing, decision science, operations, and finance for a membership program that now serves more than 200 million members across 26 countries. Under his leadership, Prime membership has tripled, per member spend has doubled, and the program has expanded into new categories including healthcare, grocery, and restaurant delivery.

In this conversation, we will explore how Amazon thinks about building and scaling Prime, what it takes to operate a multi-billion dollar global subscription platform, and how the team balances customer obsession, experimentation, and financial discipline. Jamil will also reflect on his own leadership journey across Amazon, Target, Disney, General Mills, and BCG, and how his time at Harvard College and Harvard Business School shaped his approach to strategy and innovation.
