Roger Woodend is the Director of Strategic Sales at Amazon Web Services (AWS).

He was born in Belfast in 1975 and was raised in a council-estate in Coleraine before eventually leaving NI to study Politics in Glasgow.

Since then he’s lived and worked all over the world for telecom titans, tech-startups and even found the time to do an MBA before taking up his current role with Amazon today.

In today’s episode we talk about:

Losing his dad at a young age
How visiting Hong Kong changed his life
Why he set up the New York City Northern Ireland Football Supporters Club
Having dinner with the Australian Prime Minister
And why the Harbour Bar in Portrush is his favourite place in the world.

Check it out.
