San Francisco, CA, April 18, 2023 – Change, a technology platform powering donations, announces today that Sachin Shah joined its advisory board. A leader in blending technology with social impact, Shah was the Director of AmazonSmile until March 2022 and also served on the Board of the AmazonSmile Foundation. He brings a unique and specialized set of operational management skills, technical expertise, and understanding of the social impact space during a critical growth period for Change.
Shah has over 20 years of product management and engineering experience, having spent 10 years building, scaling, and leading AmazonSmile. AmazonSmile was a trailblazing program that allowed shoppers to support their favorite charitable organizations by directing Amazon to donate a portion of their eligible purchases to a nonprofit of their choice. AmazonSmile donated $449 million to hundreds of thousands of charitable organizations globally before closing its doors in February of 2023.
“I’m thrilled to work alongside the Change team as we continue to drive broad social impact at scale. Their technology has the potential to power the next generation of customer-driven, innovative social good programs, and I’m excited to be a part of that journey. I look forward to helping them build on their solid foundation as they continue to invent and grow.”
