This is Part II of a two-part series from the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center. In Part II, we speak directly to the leaders who must turn that shared foundation into action. Each role carries a distinct set of responsibilities, risks, and leverage points. Whether you own a P&L, run enterprise architecture, lead security, govern data, or manage compliance, this section is written in the language of your job—because that’s where agentic AI either succeeds or quietly dies.

The AWS Generative AI Innovation Center has helped 1,000+ customers move AI into production, delivering millions in documented productivity gains. In this post, we share guidance for leaders across the C-suite: CTOs, CISOs, CDOs, and Chief Data Science/AI officers, as well as business owners and compliance leads.
