Ronny Mendieta

Vice President, Board of Directors
Ronny joined the Ventures Board in 2017.

After coaching several Business Basics courses and being a member of Ventures’ Loan and Finance committees, Ronny greatly identified with Ventures’ mission. He wanted to have a greater impact on Ventures by influencing the organization’s direction and growth through long-term thinking with a focus on current and future client needs.

Ronny has focused his professional career on delivering business growth and profitability. Currently, Ronny is the Head of U.S. Hispanic Business at Amazon.com. In his 11+ years of tenure at Amazon, Ronny has also had roles in Finance, Prime Delivery Experience and Prime Video. At Amazon he is also Hiring Bar Raiser, a Director for Latinos@Amazon Affinity Group and a Diversity Bar Raiser. Ronny also has extensive experience in investor relations, business intelligence, and in strategic and financial planning.

Born and raised in Peru, he moved to the US in 2008 to pursue his MBA at the University of Michigan from which he graduated with a High Distinction degree. Ronny has been in love with the PNW since he moved here in 2010 and is constantly fascinated by all the outdoor opportunities it provides. When he’s not enjoying the outdoors with his wife, baby daughter and their border collie, he loves training for and racing triathlons – his favorite is the Ironman 70.3 distance.

Giving back to his community is crucial for Ronny, and Ventures provides him with a mechanism to deliver lasting impact on an area that directly relates to his skills and professional experience. Ronny believes that Ventures not only helps people overcome current difficult circumstances but empowers and provides them with the tools for long-term business growth and success.
