Hannah Lewbel

If you have ever used a Kindle, iMac/Mac Mini, Xbox, a find-my-phone feature, or raised your hand in a virtual meeting, you have used a product I invented or made. I am a maker with agency who chooses meaningful work that reaches millions by building products that improve lives. My work spans mobile and web apps, gaming, cybersecurity, and education, always with an eye on enriching daily lives and making easy-to-use user experiences. As an experienced tech and product executive currently working to modernize healthcare, I care deeply about understanding customers’ needs, protecting and securing data and systems, and aligning my teams’ operational work to drive impactful business outcomes. As a chaos-tamer, I thrive in creative environments where I can solve problems at scale. I’ve led and managed global teams across 7 different countries in Europe, North America, and Asia. I’ve been a product architect and advisor to 75+ startup founders and execs, and have worked full-time in small to large for-profit, non-profit, and government organizations (2 to 450,000 staff). I’ve successfully shipped 1st gen and multi-gen software, hardware, and IT products from concept through mass production, including 50M+ Kindles in over 30 languages, millions of consumer devices (including 12M+ of my 1st patent, the Kindle Lighted Bookcover), apps to 9M veterans, PC and SmartTV Xbox gaming experiences for 34M subscribers, core video conferencing Teams features for 350M mobile and PC users, and many millions of Mac computers I developed. My effectiveness comes from helping entire organizations rise, by sponsoring emerging leaders, continuously learning and evolving product, and partnering with mission-driven trailblazers who share a common passion and vision to make a broad positive impact around the world. • 5 top tech: Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, IBM, Infineon (advisor) • Govt: US Dept of Veterans Affairs (T4 security) • Startups: Element Labs, Lab126 (Amazon Kindle), Intentional Software (Microsoft), Creative Destruction Lab: Computational Health + Manufacturing (UW Foster School of Business), Carmera/Toyota, IoT, VR/AR, games • Non-profit: Worldreader, WAKE, NCPSSM, CTOs for Good • Consulting: Lewbel Consultancy • Boards: Infineon (Power & Sensors Technical Advisory Committee), Cal Poly (Industry Advisory Boards: Electrical Eng, Computer Eng, Women’s Eng) • Professional Communities: SF & Seattle CTO Clubs • Volunteer: Firefighter + EMT, Microsoft TEALS Cascade High comp sci teacher, Rainier Scholars (low-inc underrepresented students of color's path to college), K-12 edu
