Raejeanne Skillern, a former Intel executive, has been named the new vice president and global chief marketing officer (CMO) at Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Skillern has worked for Intel for more than 15 years and has held a variety of positions, including vice president of the company’s cloud service provider business, where she oversaw the company’s business and product strategies for the deployment of cloud infrastructure. To optimize Intel’s data center product portfolio, she oversaw a team that worked closely with major cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud.
Skillern will oversee marketing initiatives in her new position, highlighting AWS’ dominance in cloud computing and promoting its expanding AI platforms. Her primary focus will be on customer-centric growth and developing a diverse marketing team as a member of the Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) leadership team.
After Rachel Thornton left her position as CMO in September 2022, Skillern joins Amazon. Since that time, the position has been open. At Fivetran, a provider of data automation platforms, Thornton is currently the CMO.
When Skillern joined Intel in 2002 as the director of enterprise server demand creation marketing, her career with the company officially began. She rose through the ranks over time, eventually taking the position of marketing director for big data and cloud computing in 2008. Skillern was chosen to lead Intel’s cloud service provider businesses in 2014. Up until 2019, when she left the semiconductor business to work for electronics maker Flex, she held this position.

Skillern oversaw the creation of products for data centers and telecommunications networking during his time as president of Flex’s Communications and Enterprise Compute division. Skillern graduated with a bachelor’s degree in math and computer science from Pepperdine University and went on to Marylhurst University to earn an MBA.
The hiring of Skillern by AWS coincides with the cloud computing giant’s shift in emphasis to promoting AI innovation and luring new clients.
