About Dileepan
I enjoy working with great teams to build delightful experiences that enrich peoples' lives.
I bring 20 years of product, business and technology leadership in consumer and enterprise technologies spanning Generative AI, Conversational AI, Computer Vision, Multimodal AI, IoT and Edge Compute. I'm a general manager with a consistent track record of launching high-priority 0-1 products and scaling them to hypergrowth by realizing targeted business outcomes through customer-focused roadmap prioritization, cross-organizational incentive alignment, and high-velocity execution. I'm a people-focused leader passionate about inspiring and growing leaders and managers to the most impactful versions of themselves and enabling them to achieve their professional goals.
Currently, as the Chief Product and Technology Officer of Afiniti, I'm on a mission to grow Afiniti into a (multi)billion-dollar company by driving the next waves of AI-enabled product-led growth. As the single-threaded leader for Afiniti's product, engineering, and AI organizations, I am inspired every day by my stellar team of 400+ product, engineering, and science leaders who are with me on this mission.
Previously, at Amazon for nearly 7 years, I was (1) the single-threaded leader focused on bringing to market Generative AI and Agentic AI capabilities for the global seller base on Amazon.com, and (2) a product leader in the Amazon Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Alexa AI organizations, where I led teams of product managers (PMs) and managers of PMs to bring to market new personalized and proactive experiences for Alexa and Astro based on cutting-edge Generative AI (text and multi-modal LLMs), Conversational AI, Multimodal AI, Computer Vision and Augmented Reality.
Prior to Amazon, I built Ruckus Networks' IoT Product Line, Go-To-Market and ecosystem from scratch to a full-fledged business unit with a multi-million dollar opportunity funnel in 2018 and 2019. I set up the vision and Go-To-Market which enabled Ruckus to have an ecosystem of device partners selling the Ruckus network to Hospitality and Education customers even before the Wi-Fi vendor discussions happen.
Prior to Ruckus, I cut my teeth on Business leadership, Product Management, and Engineering roles at Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor, leading Wireless and Touch product lines and businesses.
