“True innovation begins with understanding people before building technology. It’s empathy, not algorithms, that drives transformation.” — Shweta Kapil
Building the Foundations of Digital Leadership
Shweta’s path to global leadership is built on deep technical expertise combined with a forward-looking strategic mindset. During her eight-year tenure at Amazon, she played pivotal roles in Fire TV, Alexa Automotive, and BuywithPrime divisions, where she transformed product innovation into enterprise-scale outcomes.
She joined Amazon in 2016, when the streaming industry was disrupting the global entertainment landscape. Shweta’s leadership soon extended beyond innovation labs to market impact. She collaborated with world-renowned entertainment partners such as Disney, HBO, NFL, and UFC, driving more than 30% growth in monthly active users (MAUs) on Fire TV. This success was not only about user numbers—it was about redefining the connected living room experience, creating smarter and more intuitive entertainment for homes across the world.
She led the launch of several Fire TV devices across North America, underscoring her role in building one of Amazon’s most successful digital ecosystems.
Driving International Expansion: Fire TV Canada Launch
In 2019, Shweta took on one of her most transformative challenges as Solutions Architecture Launch Lead for Fire TV Canada, marking Amazon’s first entry into the Canadian market. Under her leadership, Fire TV Canada experienced more than 100% growth in MAUs, integrated several new OTT partners, including Rogers, Bell, and CTV, and established repeatable frameworks that shaped Amazon’s future international rollouts.
Transforming Connected Mobility and Automotive Experiences
Her innovation extended into Amazon’s Automotive Division, where she led the expansion of Alexa Auto. For CES, she debuted the Amazon Digital Cabin, a visionary demonstration of how AI, voice, and IoT can redefine the in-car experience. This period highlighted Shweta’s capacity to translate consumer technology into enterprise-scale automotive innovation, shaping the future of smart, connected vehicles.
Scaling E-Commerce Innovation at TikTok Shop
Given her experience with BuyWithPrime, in 2024, Shweta brought her enterprise and technical leadership to TikTok Shop as Director of Customer Solutions, where she led the charge in scaling TikTok’s e-commerce ecosystem across North America.
Her focus on building internal governance frameworks and operational alignment improved merchant onboarding, streamlined cross-functional execution, and increased monetization efficiency. Shweta helped transform TikTok Shop from an emerging platform into a structured, data-driven digital marketplace.
Redefining Experiential Innovation at Sensations Exhibits
Now, as Executive Vice President at Sensations Exhibits, Shweta Kapil embarks on her next frontier—transforming the exhibit and experiential marketing industry through technology.
