She started in operations, including work on logistics, transportation, supply chain, customer service, and warehousing, and she went on to create products that heavily leveraged operations. Landry held a series of jobs of increasing responsibility and in 2013, she became a Technical Advisor to Jeff Wilke, who at the time ran Amazon's worldwide consumer business and was considered one of Amazon’s most powerful executives.
