Jeff Friedman

Through his work with AWS, Jeff helps deliver world-class constituent services to local governments. Launched in 2006, AWS began offering key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services — now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Jeff works closely with local governments to ensure they can benefit from the same cloud technologies used by hundreds of thousands of businesses around the world. Prior to AWS, Jeff spent his career in the local government space, working as a management and productivity consultant, in the technology industry, and for the City of Philadelphia where he had several different roles in various departments, including setting up the City's 311 system and Co-Founding the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics.
