“Ask yourself what makes you happy.” - Van Tran, Amazon Treasury, Capital Markets

Hello folks. Today we bring you a show with our our good buddy Van Tran, Treasury Manager, Capital Markets here at Amazon and with it, our first look inside the Treasury space.

We’ve had the pleasure of getting to work with Van and her team on some recent projects and today we got a chance to step back to discuss her background: growing up in Hanoi, Vietnam, comic books, attending undergrad in Maine, infrastructure finance, business school at Upenn, and her path all the way to Amazon Treasury.

Van and Sid also connect on their shared passion - what else, Real Estate investing! This was a lot of fun and thanks Van for coming on!

Ep23 - The Finance MBA Internship Experience with Alex Solomon (Columbia), AWS Infrastructure

“All you ca do day-to-day is control the things that are within your power.” - Alex Solomon, MBA Intern, Columbia, AWS Infrastructure

Happy new year!

We’re kicking off the 2021 season with an interview we recorded at the end of last summer with Alex Solomon. He was an MBA intern on our team.

First off, it turns out that Alex and Charlie hail from the same neck of the woods (Long Island), so we spent some quality time digging into the culture ;) (bagels, North Fork wineries, Montauk, Billy Joel and the importance of saying ‘ON Long Island’ versus ‘IN Long Island’).

Our time was 100% virtual last summer but we all agreed that it not only worked, but we also had a blast working together. Alex shares his journey to Columbia Business School and how he got into the summer program at Amazon as well as what helped him land the opportunity. He also shares what he’s learned about working at Amazon in AWS and having a successful intern experience.
Thanks Alex for coming on and we’ll (finally) see you in Seattle after graduation!
