Actually, I was a direct report to Colin Lazier (https://twitter.com/clazier) who is the GM for DynamoDB, Keyspaces, and Glue Elastic Views. I was the original TPM for DocumentDB before joining the Professional Services team as a Senior Practice Manager to head up the NoSQL Blackbelt team which led the archtecture/design effort for Amazon's RDBMS->NoSQL migration. I was brought back to the service team by Jim Scharf to lead the technical solutions team for strategic accounts, but I maintained the org chart role of Senior Practice Manager until I left for MongoDB.
Compensation was a minor issue. I was an org chart aberration already and AWS pulled out all the stops to retain me. I will always appreciate the opportunity that AWS provided me and my time at DynamoDB will always hold a special place in my heart. I really do believe that MongoDB is poised to do great things and my decision had more to do with being a part of that than anything else.
