As a highly-recognized Diversity Leader known for cultivating inclusive workforces, Modupé Congleton utilizes a vast range of dynamic skills to build awareness and action-oriented workplace cultures. Equipped with an impressive blend of knowledge and experience, Modupé excels in the niche intersections of Culture Transformation, Change Management, Operations, Sales, and Marketing.

Modupé is currently the global leader of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Worldwide Amazon Stores. As the company’s largest organization, this wide-ranging role includes managing DEI for more than one million Amazon employees. She also oversees Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships, Inclusive Marketing, and Social Impact teams for the organization.

Prior to this expansive role, Modupé led the AWS Sales & Marketing Inclusion, Diversity and Equity team. She partnered with HR and business leaders to develop processes for the equitable distribution of talent and collaborated with customers and partners to activate DEI as a differentiator to drive sustainable change globally for the multi-billion-dollar business. Modupé managed DEI strategic partnerships with major organizations like Indy8 Motorsports, Mastercard and Deloitte. She also created mechanisms to hire Black, Latin and Native American talent in the US and increase AWS-specific hiring goals for women globally, as well as develop and deploy programming that fosters a culture of inclusion. As a result, under Modupe’s leadership AWS strengthened from within. She elevated professional growth opportunities for persons of color, retained more “underrepresented voices in tech” for mainstage speaking opportunities such as the annual AWS Sales Kickoff, and established a multi-channel inclusion engagement campaign that reached thousands daily via Slack, Amazon broadcast channels, company town halls and 1:1 executive coaching.
