20+ years building products at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI — from access control to connected communities at global scale.
Sylvons Iyavoo is a Senior Product Manager (Tech) at Amazon with over 20 years of experience spanning hardware, firmware, cloud services, and AI-enabled platforms. He has led product for Ring and Amazon Key — owning secure access and connected device platforms at global scale, including last-mile delivery and multi-tenant property use cases.
With 10 years in product management and 11 years in sales, Sylvons works backwards from the customer in every decision — from roadmap prioritization to go-to-market. His approach to AI is pragmatic: automation, decision systems, and human-in-the-loop workflows that produce measurable outcomes, not experimentation for its own sake.
Before Amazon, he spent a decade at ASSA ABLOY across North America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia — progressing from regional sales to senior product management. He holds an Eller Executive MBA from the University of Arizona and a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Anna University, India.
Led product for Ring and Amazon Key for Business — two distinct customer problems at Amazon scale. At Ring, owned the Neighbors community safety platform, driving features for millions of users across connected devices and mobile. At Amazon Key for Business, owned verified, time-bound access for commercial properties — working across engineering, applied science, UX, and operations to deliver high-availability systems. Across both, defined product vision, wrote PRDs, set measurable goals, and aligned cross-functional teams to ship.
Owned the electrified and wireless access control portfolio across the Americas. Launched the DL100 Aperio Wireless Deadlatch and G100 Aperio digital door lock — opening retrofit markets previously inaccessible with wired solutions. Named ASSA ABLOY Innovation Champion, signed by the CEO.
Managed roadmap execution, go-to-market strategy, and R&D alignment for Adams Rite brand categories across North America.
Managed an 8-state territory. Owned the full sales cycle across Senior Living, Student Housing, and Multi-Family verticals — prospecting through close.
Led product roadmap across South Asia and SAARC. Adapted strategy across diverse regulatory environments and managed voice-of-customer inputs to drive development priorities.
Built the business development pipeline from the ground up across South and East India. Managed a team of Area Development Managers and drove product specifications across verticals.
Drove specification of Stanley products with architects and investor groups across commercial and residential projects in South and West India. Managed project and retail businesses across the region, built the distribution network, and owned strategic market planning, sales forecasting, and sales team development.
Specified Dorma products with architects and investor groups across India and the UK. Won the Top Project Award for execution of the Hilton Chennai project (FY09-10), recognized for driving the movable walls division business plan (FY08-09), and named Emerging Star Performer of the Year across all divisions (FY07-08).
Executive MBA focused on strategy, technology management, and organizational leadership. Graduated May 2022 while continuing to deliver professionally — a deliberate choice to develop business acumen without pausing execution.
Foundation in engineering principles, systems thinking, and technical problem-solving — disciplines that continue to inform how I approach product architecture, constraint analysis, and first-principles reasoning across software and hardware domains.
Sylvons performed as top participant in both the Product Project Management and Lean Innovation Champion programs, and became an ASSA ABLOY Innovation Champion — signed by our CEO. He had really detailed and action-oriented knowledge about his whole product area and was growing that area as good as it could be.
Sylvons reported to me in two different roles and proved himself an asset in both. His business acumen and ability to get the work done are exemplary. He has always shown desire to quickly learn and execute the task within deadlines.
I have never met someone who can give feedback so objectively on any topic of discussion. Sylvons is extremely creative in his approach towards Sales and Business Development. I will also give credit to his leadership skills in leading his team and also being an inspiration to his colleagues to better the best that they can do.
Sylvons is a deliverer. He is known for his high octane performances in demanding business situations. A seasoned negotiator and has innate ability to sense the pulse of the project and in giving a winning close.
Sylvons is one of the finest people I have ever met and worked with. He is a powerhouse of energy with tremendous zeal to learn. He is an innovative perfectionist who always goes the extra mile to get the job done. Sylvons is an exceptional sales professional with in-depth business acumen. He is truly an asset to any organisation.
