Royana Anand

I am currently a Technical Program Manager at Amazon, leading a global initiative to ensure the accessibility of every Search feature, in compliance with the European Accessibility Act effective from June 2025. My career spans impactful roles at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Expedia, Google, and Stanford University, where I began as a data analyst.

At AWS, I managed four customer-facing services and specialized in crafting financial models for service performance prediction and pricing strategies. During my tenure at Expedia, I spearheaded initiatives to enhance user experience during the pandemic, ensuring clarity on COVID-related guidelines and insurance protections across their brands.

My journey at Google involved building automated cost allocation processes and enhancing data transparency across product areas like Ads, YouTube, and Cloud. At Stanford University, I contributed to influential projects analyzing investments in developing countries, which influenced substantial grants for infrastructure development.

I am passionate about driving customer-facing product development processes and fostering collaboration across teams. My expertise includes backlog prioritization, risk assessment, and facilitating critical product meetings. I thrive on optimizing business processes and have a knack for clear communication and strategic alignment.

As a mentor, I am committed to helping others navigate their career journeys, offering insights gained from my diverse experiences in tech and academia. Whether you're aiming to enhance product development strategies, navigate complex business challenges, or explore new career avenues, I'm here to provide guidance and support tailored to your goals.
