A Hampton Roads native, Winter oversees the e-commerce giant’s economic and community investments in Virginia, where Amazon has its East Coast HQ2 headquarters in Arlington County. Since 2010, Amazon has invested more than $135 billion in Virginia through infrastructure and compensation for its 42,000 employees in the state.
In November 2025, the company said it planned to invest up to $50 billion more in the state to expand artificial intelligence and supercomputing capacity for Amazon Web Services’ federal cloud customers.
In the past year, Amazon announced a Goochland County robotics fulfillment center and launched new delivery stations in Virginia Beach, Hampton and Roanoke. In July 2025, the company canceled plans for a third data center in Louisa County, following local backlash, but its data center arm purchased 189 acres in Prince William County for $700 million in November.
Before joining Amazon in 2021, Winter worked for Anthem, Amerigroup and law firm Kaufman & Canoles. She is a James Madison University graduate.
