Madhu Gurramkonda leads data analytics and AI at Amazon, where his team has moved from answering ad-hoc SQL requests one at a time to running AI agents that business teams use for everyday analytics. He started as a data and BI engineer, later worked in program management on global launches with external partners, and was one of the founding members of the team behind Amazon’s Fuse about ten years ago.

He builds agentic AI for analytics with a focus on trust: agents that read from governed data, and a validator that checks answers before anyone sees them. He is also a peer reviewer for several data and AI journals. Madhu speaks here in a personal capacity; his views are his own and not those of his employer.
