Jaswanthi P Meganathan

With over 15 years of experience in managing and delivering cloud products and services across a variety of industries, I’m incredibly passionate about driving innovation and solving real-world challenges. I’m certified in SAFe, ITIL, PMP, CSM, and AWS Cloud Practitioner, and I thrive on leading product launches, managing lifecycles, and championing agile project management.

Currently, I’m diving into the exciting world of AWS Security, where I lead the strategy and execution of critical services that protect and empower our customers. Before this, I had the privilege of shaping the future of simulation technologies at AWS, where I guided the product vision, strategy, and execution for AWS RoboMaker and AWS SageMaker GroundTruth Plus. Every day, I’m fueled by the mission to create customer-centric, game-changing solutions that simplify complex problems and open up endless possibilities. I’m also deeply committed to fostering an environment of collaboration, excellence, and diversity—both within my team and across AWS.

Prior to joining AWS, I had the opportunity to consult with top-tier banks in the Financial Services industry, where I helped craft FinTech product roadmaps, develop cloud migration strategies, create Target Operating Models, and evaluate IT costs of ownership. It was an incredible experience that sharpened my skills and deepened my passion for helping businesses transform and thrive!

With over 35 years of nursing practice, I am delighted to share my enthusiasm for higher education at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Over the years, I have focused on direct-patient care and nursing education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Additionally, I have served in several administrative roles. I am a Professor in the School of Nursing and Health Services, teaching in both the Nursing and Public Health departments. I am currently the Graduate Program Coordinator for the MSN and MPH programs. I am also the Chair of the Department of Public Health.

My clinical areas of expertise include chronic disease management with a focus on diabetes. My own Doctor of Nursing Practice project focused on transitional care nursing, and my current practice involves ensuring the highest level of quality care is being provided to one of the most vulnerable populations. Throughout my professional practice, I aim to provide high-quality care and education to those with chronic disease by communicating, collaborating, and applying evidence-based practice to promote the best outcomes.

As a Professor, I am dedicated to promoting student success and positive program outcomes. I believe a student’s success is built through being an active, engaged learner, receiving positive mentoring, and being exposed to varied experiential learning opportunities. I enjoy problem-solving and collaborating with colleagues to build programs to meet needs and improve outcomes.

I am an active member of the New Jersey State Nurses Association, American Nurses Association, Sigma Theta Tau- Psi Mu Chapter, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, and the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES). I maintain certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center as an Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP-BC),and through ADCES as Board Certified Advanced Diabetes Management (BC-ADM).
