Aaron Melgar is an AI builder and investor born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I’m currently on the AI Startups and Venture Capital Business Development Team at Amazon Web Services, where I work with early stage AI founders on product strategy and go-to-market motions. I also lead the AWS Generative AI Accelerator and an active angel investor.

I’ve been a Founder, Machine Learning Director, first business hire at a Series-A startup with a $330M exit, and AI Strategy Consultant with Google as my client. I’ve had the honor of working with teams across Asia, North America, South America, and Europe.

As a second generation American from El Salvador, I am passionate about advancing data literacy and economic mobility, and write about the latest data analytics trends and career opportunities in my blog Data Driven.
