Benjamin Okeke is a Senior Corporate Counsel at Amazon, where he helps guide one of the world's largest marketplaces through complex legal challenges in AI, privacy, and commerce.

A Howard University School of Law graduate, Benjamin is proof that a legal career can look many different ways, and that leading with plain language and people-first values can take you all the way to the top.
