Roger Woodend is the Director of Strategic Sales at Amazon Web Services (AWS).   He was born in Belfast in 1975 and was raised in a council-estate in Coleraine before eventually leaving NI to study Politics in Glasgow.    Since then he’s lived and worked all over the world for telecom titans, tech-startups and even found the time to do an MBA before taking up his current role with Amazon today.   In today’s episode we talk about:

• Losing his dad at a young age
• How visiting Hong Kong changed his life
• Why he set up the New York City Northern Ireland Football Supporters Club
• Having dinner with the Australian Prime Minister
• And why the Harbour Bar in Portrush is his favourite place in the world.
