Amazon Channel Sales Development Manager, Ring JP, Amazon Devices in Tokyo, Japan
Description
About Ring
It started with a simple question: What if you could answer your front door from anywhere in the world?
In 2013, Ring was founded on that idea — and it changed home security forever. From our first Video Doorbell to a full ecosystem of smart home security products, Ring has spent over a decade bridging the distance between people and what they care about most. Today, Ring is part of Amazon Devices, and together we're making safety smarter, more accessible, and more connected for communities around the world.
In Japan, we're just getting started — and the opportunity ahead is enormous.
