Kene Ezeoke

Senior Program Manager & Operator

8+ years building programs from scratch at Amazon, Apple, Google, and F5. I thrive in ambiguous, high-growth environments where I can partner with leadership, stand up what doesn't exist yet, and drive measurable business outcomes.

8+ Years in Big Tech
$45MM Revenue driven at F5
$500MM Revenue managed at Apple
40% YoY Revenue growth at Amazon
50% Faster launch cycles

Started as employee #13 at a NYC SaaS startup -- proved product viability, built the team from 1 to 6, and helped attract investment from Marc Benioff. Since then, 8+ years driving measurable outcomes at Amazon, Apple, Google, and F5, influencing decisions from frontline operations to S-team and board-level audiences. I bring a consistent pattern of identifying missing or broken processes and replacing them with scalable systems -- increasingly using GenAI and LLM-powered automation to do work that was previously impossible at scale. Chicago Booth MBA.
