Jeremy Zhang, PhD

Sr. Director of Product Management, Cloud Foundation @ Capital One

About

I’m a product guy who loves turning complex technology into scalable platforms that make life easier for developers and customers alike. Over the years, I’ve built and grown cloud and serverless compute platforms that power thousands of teams, from agentic AI and workflow hosting at Amazon to cloud services at Iron Mountain and J2 Global. What drives me most is seeing great people come together around a clear vision — then empowering them to address unmet needs of customers and deliver real impact. I believe the best products emerge when strategy, execution, and purpose align, and I’m passionate about fostering that balance every day.
