Single-Threaded Owner

Professional Management Buzzword General

Amazon's term for a leader dedicated to exactly one thing, with no competing priorities. The opposite of matrix management, and the reason their big bets get someone's whole brain.

Heard in the wild

“The new market entry gets a single-threaded owner — no day job attached.”

Tone check: Professional
