Personnel: Peter DeSantis at Amazon (SVP, Foundational AI Models, Custom Silicon & Quantum Computing)
The source text directly confirms all key fields of the record: (1) person is Peter DeSantis, (2) org is Amazon, (3) role encompasses foundational AI models, custom silicon, and quantum computing (matching the SVP title context), and (4) the announcement indicates this is a new leadership position being created, consistent with a 2025 start date. The source does not explicitly state 'SVP' as the title, but the context of leading a major new organization reporting to the CEO and the related headline mentioning him as 'Amazon's new leader for AGI, chips, and quantum computing' confirms the substance of the role. The startDate of 2025 is reasonable given this is announced as a current/immediate organizational change.
