How to Get Alexa App to List Skill Under Different Name?

My dev skills show up with my real name under the skill name in the Alexa App - e.g., "John Doe" which is the same as my Amazon Account name. How do I get my skill to show up in the Alexa App skills list under a different name (e.g. "RandM Software")? Thank you

I had to deal with this when we submitted on Thursday. It's based on the Company Name that you registered your Amazon Developer Account with, and there's no way to submit your skill under a different name. So, you have two options: 1. Submit a support ticket to Amazon to have your Company Name changed. 2. Create a new amazon developer account We chose the second option, and it was super quick and easy. This also allowed us to use email addresses from our "official" domain name, instead of our personal email addresses. We're now essentially treating our personal developer "companies" as our dev environment, and the newly created account as our "prod" company. That said, maybe it would be good to request the ability to submit under a different company name as a feature.

One more question... Do I only need to create a new developer account under my "company name" and keep my existing AWS/Lambda account, which is under my personal name? Thanks

Correct. The account you have your AWS/Lambda code tied to should have no effect on what shows up in your skill's details.
