Helen Lin
Lead Product Manager, AWS
Qian is a true design leader and partner in helping define, design, and launch multiple new products at AWS. Having worked with Qian on designing multiple ambiguous products, she consistently raised the bar and impressed our broader engineering and leadership team with her ability to come up with creative, beautiful user experience workflows even when product definitions were ambiguous, and she never shied away from tight deadlines or complex design requirements. She does not let obstacles slow her down -- she is a master at managing her stakeholders, seeking alignment when decisions were not easy to come by, and always pushes forward towards a solution even when there were multiple obstacles in the way. She provided thought leadership and guidance when there were little to no prior models to base designs off of, and always stayed calm and focused even when there were multiple competing priorities. She is a true asset and partner to any team that needs UX leadership.
