About Me

Hi!

I’m Anna, a Senior Product Manager based in Seattle. I’m a German native (yes, born and raised!) who made the move to the Pacific Northwest a few years ago.

As a Senior Product Manager, I help large cross-functional teams actually function by setting up tools, processes, and governance that let hundreds of people work together without constant friction. I enjoy connecting leadership, engineering, and users without losing anyone. I have a background in journalism, and love collaborating with different people in fast-paced environments.

In my most recent work at Amazon Web Services, I owned the roadmap for AWS’s private pricing tool used by 3,000+ sellers, influencing 60%+ of AWS revenue. My work spanned a major migration of 6 separate platforms into one Salesforce-based system, large scale feature development, and most recently, co-leading the product work for an AI-powered agent designed to reduce deal drafting time by 75% for account managers. Before that, I supported the launch of a COVID case management tool across 36 countries for Amazon’s Employee Services Teams and led the product strategy for a unified HR support platform serving 10,000+ users.

I’m skilled at translating complexity into clear product decisions, connecting engineering, business, and design teams, and creating processes to prioritize product roadmaps backed by data. I’ve also mentored PMs and students early in their tech careers, because I care as much about the people around me as the products we’re building. Growing into a leadership role is something I’m actively working toward.

I’m drawn to work that has a positive impact on people, whether that means making someone’s job easier, or supporting programs such as Amazon’s Career Choice that help employees grow through tuition assistance. I’m also curious about Climate Tech and modern technology such as machine learning can be used for Earth’s benefit.
