Category: Private Citizen — Corporate Director Role: Independent Director, Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN); Audit Committee Chair Board Tenure: 2019 – present Committee Memberships: Audit Committee (Chair; Financial Expert) Profile Type: Board Member Accountability — Anchor B (Documented Organizational Leadership)

> Basis for Inclusion: Indra K. Nooyi holds a documented governance role as Audit Committee Chair and designated financial expert at Amazon.com Inc., which made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities while the corporation faced antitrust scrutiny and maintained significant government contract relationships. As Audit Committee Chair, Nooyi holds primary board-level oversight responsibility for Amazon’s financial reporting and risk management. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

> Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to documented corporate political activity.

> What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Nooyi’s personal political opinions, party affiliation, public statements, or any protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion. The basis is solely the documented directorial role and its fiduciary connection to corporate political spending documented in the parent corporate donor profile.
